QJo TP River Trouble

I think that the answer is that I can figure out roughly what he's got based on how he reacts, and I'd like to charge the flush if possible.

Also, flop raise + turn bet + river check = one small bet better than calling down.

you aren't charging the flush draw. do a search for the ed miller post about this - it's good.

i think raising for info is weak - especially in these micro limit games. what did you find out in this hand? a lot of things have to go right for you to get your cheaper showdown, and works best against passive opponents. it's a risky move. none of this seems worth that extra sb.

Whatever, you played this hand fine.

Don't be results oriented, realize that against loose players you will have to put them on a wide range of hands so you are going to end up putting multiple bets in with the worst hand sometimes. That is just a side effect of playing against bad players. In evaluation of this hand you can't say "how did i give up so many bets to AA/6x" you have to realize the limited information that you had at the time. Although I think calling the flop and raising a safe turn might be better here, you didn't "get gang raped" on this hand. Far from it.

FTOP?

The reason I was upset with the high wsd number is that I thought his hand was better than mine (SB's), but perhaps incorrectly tried to push him off of it.

I don't really understand waiting for a safe turn card currently. I'll be reviewing that section of SSHE shortly. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Glad you think the river call was good, though.

Fundamental theorem of poker

People that go to SD a ton often make these kinds of errors on the flop and turn, IE drawing to just overcards getting 5-1 etc.
