Been a while I haven't posted a hand.

My river call sucks. How about the flop/turn play? (I had 10 hands on the guy, had not noticed anything unusual)

The river is defintely bad even getting 10:1. Do you think it's better to raise the flop, or the turn?

I like raising the turn in hope of a free showdown with this hand if you didnt have the flush draw id probably raise the flop and take a free card if i can

I would probably raise the flop, but your way may be better. As you said, I think the river call is very ill-advised.

What do you put him on when he bets the flop?? I put him on a better hand that's not folding, or KT. So I'd raise the flop, bet the turn, and check the river.

You're probably right about him not folding any hand on the turn (either paired or oesd). I was really hoping to be able to check behind on the river, or get an extra BB when I hit. I thought this was the right situation for this play.

However, after the hand, I thought that if I have to think about the possiblily of being 3bet, raising the flop is better as I'm much less of an underdog than on the turn. Hence the post.
