HERO call/raise/kill himself?????????

should i have bet more on the flop??....the turn is where i think i went wrong....should i have checked that turn...or commited myself further????

[Hendricks433]

I bet a little more on the flop. Turn is kind of scary. I never know what to do when that hits. So Ill let others give advice on that.

Bah. You played this one the way 90% of the posters in your other thread suggested. Raised JJ in EP, led flop, led turn.

Did it make the hand any easier to play? Apparently you still have no idea where you are in the hand. No clue why you would fold the river, but I guess you considered it.

I guess you could be beat here, but you have to call.

on the river i know i should call....im more concerned with my turn action....should i have pushed or checked to him....wouldnt the turn be a better spot to either commit myself or let the hand go.....

um.. call the river?

Bet closer to pot on flop, this usually makes it easier to tell if he's on a draw or has a made hand.

I think the pf-bet is alright if you want to play aggressively early on.
On the flop the pot is 245, so your 150 bet should be ok to price out a flushdraw.
However, when he calls your flopbet I would slow down.
Considering his stack and him calling your bet, I would put him on a badly played flushdraw, twopair (78), a set or overpair.
On the turn you are only ahead of TT and a bluff here so I would be a chicken and check-fold the turn.
Since you bet out on the turn, I think you´re already potcommitted on the river, so why not push?

Let me know if you guys think I´m out of line here.

Absolutely. I play it different on all streets, but if I were in your position on the turn, I'd go ahead and push.

Given the preflop action, putting him on exactly this range is nuts.

What more hands would you put him on when he flatcalls your flopbet?
And after the turnbet?
