Default Re: Should be standard, did I play it like that?

Thanks all for the reassurance. I guess the fact that I would just be calling all the way if a blank falls on the river made me feel a little unsatisfied.

What were you thinking of doing differently? Although this is standard, it is good to know what you were thinking of doing, and why it might be wrong.

Raising the flop?
Raising the turn?
Folding the river?
Raising the river UI?
Folding to the 3-bet?

Please choose which you think you might do, and we can talk about why they are bad.

I think a lot of people raise this flop and then do this:
- if villian just calls the raise they proceed to bet the turn and the river.
- if villian 3-bets the raise then they decide the villian has an ace and they call the flop and check/fold the turn unimproved (the diamond is an imrpovment), or they think the villian is on the flush draw and they either cap it and lead the turn or they stop and go.

I'm not saying that I would raise the flop here but a lot of people would.
