Recently started my holdem career on Paradise Poker, since I couldn't find any good times to make it out to a B&M.. so I'll be posting hands from time to time that come up like everyone else.
Paradise 1/2... just sat down so I didn't know much about anyone at the table. I was on the button with AhKs. UTG+1 limps, as does EMP, as does LP, I raise, blinds fold, the other 3 call... 4 to see the flop.
Flop: Qh2h4h. UTG+1 checks, EMP bets, LP folds, I raise, UTG+1 folds, EMP calls.
Turn: [8h]Qh2h4h. EMP checks, I bet, he calls. River comes another heart, he checks and calls.
Was my raise on the flop justified? I figured he'd either put me on Axh and fold right there, or at least give me a free card on the turn to try to catch that 4th heart. Furthermore, what should I have done if he reraised me on the flop?
Thanks in advance,
Joey
