I like it the whole way. Even the riverbet.
With the flush showing it might have scared him.

You value-bet your pretty good hand and not only allow him to value-bet when he has you beat.

i don't understand this statement? sure the flush is showing, but do you expect him to be scared enough to lay down his trip tens or straight?

you keep him from value-betting when he has you beat....i don't get it? either way, you're both putting in a river bet, so i don't understand what leading out the river really accomplishes.

I meant he might be scared that he doesn't raise (with a T).
So if you know that he won't raise with less than a boat, betting is superior to check-calling.
You have a good hand which you should value-bet. If you check you allow him to bet when he has you beaten and check behind if he has not. So you miss a bet.

i'm sorry, i still don't get it. what hand do you think he has that he raises the J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on the turn?

and what would he have on the turn worthy of a raise, but not worth betting again on the river? i guess you think he'd do this with some A-rag or paired J?
