Nick - Alas, I'm not Obi Wan.

I don't think you really did anything wrong here, except perhaps not anticipate the possible raise from CO and the subsequent fold by UTG on the second betting round.

Your bet on the flop is a semi-bluff, pure and simple. You hope to win the pot with your bet and you have a back-up nut flush draw if you don't, but then when you get raised the bet turns sour. (Raising is the classic defense against players who often semi-bluff). You do have odds to call the raise.

Then after the five of hearts on the turn, you have odds to call a bet.

I like your move on the fourth betting round, but not against an opponent who is either overplaying aces (a distinct possibility here) or who is a cinch to call you for one reason or another. Get caught bluffing just once or twice and you're going to get called almost all the time, or at least enough so that the ploy is not profitable.

I guess LAG means loose aggressive and PFR means pre-flop raiser - but since I'm not Obi Wan, I have no idea what OESD means.

In any event, may the force be with you.
