Questions
#1 How is my line on this flop? I clearly have mighty power with top set and a ragged flop, its bet and raised into me my first thought was to smooth call the two bets and reveal my true strength on the turn. However, after a third bet, I felt like there was sufficient strength out there to go ahead and cap it. Did I give away too much about the power I was sitting on with this call-reraise move?
#2 I like what I see on the board, until the river checkraise. Im trying to think what hed have here
only a A5, 56, or spade flush beats me, of course so what can he have? I was thinking he had a lesser set when he made it three bets on the flop. Now, he caps it and I fear I might be beat. Any problem with my reraise at the end?
