in my opinion, you played this hand awesome

I agree.

Pre-flop is read-based and you seemed to be pushing a good edge there.

Flop raise is good as your hand is still vulnerable, you'd like As and stuff to fold, you might sometimes fold out a medium [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], you have value against hands like AQ, QQ, JJ with [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]s in them, and so forth.

And I have often expounded the virtues of raising the turn for a free showdown and this is certainly a good candidate...
