I don't like the raise on the turn. You have the nuts. Give him a chance to bet at it on the River, your in position. Then raise a good amount so he will call you.

Yeah, I use the HH from my harddrive. Put it in whatever version of the bisonbison converter it is that comes up on google. And then yeah, sometimes I have to edit what it gives me. It misses when I push a lot, and it messes up pot sizes, but I just change/add those manually.

Has SB given you any indication that the SB complete is out of character?

If not, I'll generally raise to about 90-100 here preflop. If someone wants my blind, they are going to need to risk some chips.

Raising the flop is fine, but as others have said, you have to make the raise something he has to think about.

Hmmmm...

(1) I dont' raise on the turn
(2) I don't have a made hand on the turn
(3) I'm second to act

Do you mean the river? (3) Still applies, it's a reraise after he bets out.

No, completing is entirely in charachter. He's very non-aggressive. After the hand he said he had K5, the five being spades.

OOP I would bet pot to start, hope to take it down (probably a bit less of the pot). If I get raised it will usually be a big raise and I can get out easily.

Draws OOP are tricky plays. In fact, it would be safe to say that you are better off not to play them OOP. But if you were, its more so a semi-bluff fire oout on the flop, and then if you miss on the turn, meekly check/fold.

Since check folding is never a play you want to make, OOP this looks like you are better off simply not playing it. If you hit, you won't get paid off anyway (unless a fish is drawing to the K high, they are fun!).

I hope this post was useful.
