2/5 blinds at the wynn, My first week of no-limit play. I have 900 behind villain has 1500.

Villain is the strongest player at the table, a better player than me.

Preflop:

I raise $20 in the cutoff with T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

Villain in the big blind makes it $40 total.

I call so there are two to the flop with $82 in the pot.

Flop:

5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Villain bets $60 I ask "how deep are you" and then call. Pot has $202.

Turn:

is 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Villain bets $200, I raise the rest of my chips. So there is $602 in the pot and I raise $600 more.

I am no expert at no-limit and just wanted to get some critique of my play at any point in the hand. I don't know why I raised all my chips on the turn it just kind of felt right. I am viewed at the table as a TAG with great image. I have only show down premium hands.

it's gutsy and it looks like he's on an overpair.

you need to do the math quickly in your head and decide if he's willing to fold his overpair often enough to make your likely 14 out semibluff profitable. i'd estimate the answer is yes, but you need to do it yourself to answer your question.
