Weird TPTK spot
 

No read on villian but hes probably not a clown. 9 on the turn brings the combos that beat me from 6 to 4. Either cehck the turn or push right? I pushed. Look good?

i dont get it. why r u pushing? do u think u will get better hands to fold, or worse hands to call? i dont. i think u can check behind here or bet 1/2 pot and fold to a raise.

Re: Weird TPTK spot
 

I have to push or check because any bet that protects against a flush commits me no? Do you often bet 25 and fold for 50 into a 150 pot?

i wouldnt say i do it often, but against an unknown i dont see what c/rs me ai here that i beat. your push just allows him to play perfectly. we have position i dont see the need to get super crazy w/ one pair...

Re: Weird TPTK spot
 

SB showed quite a bit of strength with that flop move. I am playing the rest of the hand cautiously. Take the free card and call a moderate river bet.

Re: Weird TPTK spot
 

Yeah I messed this one up. The 9 pairing combined with the flush draw made me feel like I needed to protect here and I was probably ahead. Checking behind and calling something small is definitley better. TPTK went down in flames to quads.

Check behind on the turn. On the river, If he checks, I'm betting around $50 and of cource calling a re-raise. If he bets, Im most likley jamming. I dont like the turn push since you are knocking out the hands you have beat, and only leaving the hands that have you crushed.
