ok i pushed AK on the flop
but CO hesitated and then called, then checked the turn. should i have pushed on the turn to see if he was on those spades??

at the river he did the classic stall bet huge which made me think he was on a boat. any thoughts??

by push you must mean bet. "pushing" usually means going allin.

everything looks fine, pretty standard on all streets.

right, i meant bet. trying to grasp all the jargon that i normally don't use

Make it $3 on the flop, and then your line is better.

Whoa, where did the CO come from?

And what's your UB name? I play the .25-.50s on UB. I wanna know who I have to watch out for.

Also, I prefer a pre-flop raise to $2.50 in this spot with the limper behind you, as well as a larger follow up bet on the flop.

when i played on UB...anyone underbetting the pot when there's an easy "bet pot" button i treated like they were on a draw...i suppose you WERE on a um...pair draw
