I know my post-flop line is wrong, but what\'s right?
 

I feel like hands like this are the biggest leak in my game. Long-call type situations where I lost control of the hand. Also, this table was playing very fast with lots of big action on marginal hands. However, I had no direct read on main villain. Any suggestions on the hand would be greatly appreciated.

Well, how about potting flop?
Other than that as played.

Without reads why are you checking behind on turn? [ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ] I think a minimum check-raise by an unknown means very little here, he may have a 4, a naked 5, an over pair smaller than your queens etc. etc. Checking behind on turn, to control pot size might seem like a good idea, but against an unknown I am probably making a 3/4 to full PSB. Free cards make me sick, especially when he turns over A4o on the river.

I think the weak flop bet is what got Hero in trouble.
Now he doesnt quite know what he's up against.

freecards to a 5 outer are not that bad imo

I like the way all streets were played

Whats wrong with the flop bet? A 2/3 pot cbet is pretty standard, no?

Re: I know my post-flop line is wrong, but what\'s right?
 

Usually a full pot sized bet is the norm. It seems to command more respect.

Re: I know my post-flop line is wrong, but what\'s right?
 

I have a set. I don't want respect. I want draws to come along when I'm ahead, not fold.

Re: I know my post-flop line is wrong, but what\'s right?
 

A continuation bet is a bluff though, your bet is a value bet.

Re: I know my post-flop line is wrong, but what\'s right?
 

A continuation bet should be the same whether you have a hand or not. To change bet sizes based on strength of hand is a tell.
