Is my raise on the river okay?

Or too much or too little??

I like the amount on the river bet. I probably would have raised on the flop with such a strong draw facing a minimum raise. But I just can't stand mini raises. I play the 5+.5 at UB all the time so see ya at the tables. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I'm thinking about raising the flop here, though it might suck to get 3-bet. You can definitely buy yourself a free card by raising to t120, and get some FE in as well, maybe disguise your draw a bit.

I probably would have raised to about t300. That would be leave him with more than 75% of his stack intact if he calls. If he thinks he has plenty of chips left, even if he gambles, he is more likely to call you. It is also giving him about 4 to 1 pot odds to make the call, which may be too juicy to pass up.

I didn't even think of the free card, but that might have been good. Up to that point, though (which I know wasn't long), my raises had gotten very little action.

I just figured, "Hey, I'm getting 4:1 on a flush draw. Woohoo!"

Anyone else have an opinion on raising the flop?
