The danger in betting the turn is that you can't call a big check-raise, and you have so many outs on the river against an ace if you check behind...

Stop making me look stupid. Oh wait, I did that to myself.

I enjoy pointing out other people's mistakes. It makes me feel good about myself.

the tourney was a pokerstars private tournament with rebuys for the first period, and we were still in the first period. i should've been more aggressive since i *could* still rebuy, but i was thinking in regular tournament "if your chips are gone, you're out" mode. so, yeah, i should've pushed pre-flop after his reraise.

regarding post-flop and betting for value after the turn, i've got a draw to the nut flush, but with the board with 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]s and paired, he could have a made flush, a full house or a draw to a full house bigger than my full-house-draw. i feel like i'm a dog here for too many hands my opponent could have.

i definitely need to work on my aggression, particularly in a circumstance like this where i can still rebuy.

i ended up busting out about midway through the pack -- i got outdrawn a couple of times and then got busted out when i pushed with A-7 preflop and got called by A-6 and QQ. the board brought three more 6's and i was gone.

thanks for the feedback, folks.
