Did I play this correctly
In a home game, .50/1 NL - $20 INITIAL BUY-IN
3 hands in Hero - sb - qxqs villain - late position pre-flop raise of $2 (I put him on Ax) equal stacks I call raise. Flop - 3 ts 8s I bet pot $7 Villain calls quickly TURN BRINGS A I check w/ the intent to go over the top if he bet. He checks. River is a Js. I go All-in. He calls, takes down the pot. I guess I should have made a strong bet on the turn, but I doubt he could have gotten away from his ace. |

Re: Did I play this correctly
I would re-raise the flop.
I'm fine with the flop bet. I would bet the turn and if he calls I would check-fold the river. If he re-raises fold. The river push is bad. If you put him on Ax, why play this hand this way? |

Re: Did I play this correctly
I was trying to represent a made flush, but in reality, I probably misplayed pre-flop and fell in love w/ my pockets. Should have accepted defeat once the A spiked, I suspect. The mistake is in letting him see it to start with, I guess...and I just multiplied the mistake on the river.

Re: Did I play this correctly
If you really hit your flush, would you go all in on the river and scare the other guy off? I think this is where he saw through you. If you check raised the river, you might make him think.

He's either got top pair or two pair, or possibly (although unlikely) a set with half of his money already in the pot. I doubt he'll release his hand here, which he didn't. Although in this hand I wouldn't go all-in on the river for an obvious reason (the A) I'd have made a strong reraise preflop with QQ, and then bet strong from there on the flop. Good luck, Matt |

Re: Did I play this correctly
Reraise to 6 or 7 to go preflop. Bet all in on flop (I'm assuming you will have around 13 left).
Win or lose (if he calls), you get all your money in with the best hand. |
