Default I feel dumb

2/4 full-ring, Prima. Villain has 400, I cover. He seems average, nothing special.

Folded to me on the button, I raise to 16 (standard) with 3h4h. Villain calls in the SB.

Flop (36): As 2s Kx

Villain checks, I bet 30. He calls.

Turn (96): Qx

Check, check.

River (96): 5s

Villain bets 45

what do you like raising to?
I prefer call here, you're not going to get called by anything you beat.

Doesn't mean the villain can't put in a third bet.

I'd raise to about 125 and fold to a push. Two pair and 22 call you here, and he'll reraise most flush hands.

Preflop: just call.

Flop: just check

Turn: good

River: bet too big, especially since it's a spade. If it's called your beat. If you ahead, you won't get called.

I don't think low suited connectors work well as stealing hands. High cards take on added value shorthanded and these kinds of hands have reduced value shorthanded.

With an Ace and a King and a two flush board on the flop, hero may be behind and drawing to four or perhaps only three non-flush outs. This seems like a pretty long shot semi-bluff, but since Hero showed that he liked his hand a lot preflop, perhaps he can get any Ax or worse to fold.

However, Villian may be suspicious of a continuation steal bet and not fold too easily if he's got one of those high cards. Having a feel for the opponent probable reaction and an awareness of how Villian percieves Hero is important here, and I don't know what those are. This is close to one of the few good flops Hero could have hoped for though, so maybe firing a shot here is warrented. It's a little thin though and I think these kind of low suited connectors tend to get you into these kind of thin spots often.

[/ QUOTE ]Opps, I got mixed up and thought Hero bet. I like only calling the river as Villian may well have the flush.
