Default Re: Learning to play poker again. Part 1/3 overcards out of position.

I think you got waaay out of line on this hand. Really, the flop check-raise is gutsy but when he doesn't fold to the turn bet I think you're screwed.

I think the river play esepcially sucks. Inducing a bluff from an EP raiser whose shown no intention of going anywhere? If anything you should have bet the river....

Really, I think you got really lucky to win this one. It helps that your opponent is a humongous moron, but most of the time I think you should be check-calling the flop and check-folding the turn, readless of course. If your opponent is a known lag, fine, there's merit to your line. But against reasonable players you're spewing, I think. And if you improve you're liable to lose even more a good portion of the time.
