Tricky situation since you don't have a club...

I like the flatcall on the flop since you can get away cheap with another club on the turn but now that the turn comes blank I would try to raise him too see where I am in this hand. Let's say you raise him 1200 (raise of 700) that would pretty much put him all in and if he don't have a club I don't think he will risk his stack on this.

Ok, with the way you played it cost you 1500 but if you decided to raise on the turn it would only cost you 200 more and you would put the hard decision on him whether to move in or not. If he moves all in on you it's another 1000 to call, giving you 3,8 to 1 to call but it's easy to get away from since you are most likely beat.

His bet on the river was somewhat strange and you would only loose 200 more (if we knew he would make a 500 bet on the river) if you raised him on turn. His bet seems like weakness too.

What do rest of you guys think off a raise here on the turn?

I'm hungry but I hope you guys get what I am saying.

I haven't checked the result yet and will not do until this have been discussed.

Thanks for the good post. I was going to post that I probably should have pushed the turn. I still think that would have been the best play, but I think I wanted to make sure I saw the river at the time and would have hated to have been raised all in. I was sick when I saw the club on the river. This player was a pretty loose player and my read on him was that he might have pushed over the top if I pushed on the turn (just a guess that I thought about at the time). I was hoping that I could get this to the end as cheap as possible. With his strange bet I even thought he might have flopped a flush with 2 picture clubs.
