Default Second nuts.

2/4 NL on Prima.

Stacksizes: Hero: $450
Villain: $400

I have Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in an unraised pot.

SB, BB (Villain) and me on the button all see the flop.

Flop: 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (pot: $16)

BB bets $16, I re-raise to $40, He calls.

Turn: Brick.

He checks, I bet $100, He calls.

River: Brick.

He bets $70, I go all-in, He calls.

He shows: A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Hero shows: K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

He makes a pot sized bet on the flop and then calls your reraise. He checks the turn, most likely trying for a check raise but then you bet so big he figures he'll just call. At this point what do you have him on jack high?

He was big blind and I dont think anyone is folding a flush on this board.

The villain is a pretty horrible player who could easily have called me down with a set waiting for the board to pair up.

The $70 bet on the river looked like a blocking bet to me.

Good point. I think I was too in love with my hand to actually think it over.

Does a "pretty horrible player" even know what a blocking bet is? Sounds you might have fallen victim to reverse implied fancy play syndrome.

Preflop is a little unclear, it appears someone limped in front of you though you don't seem to mention that. Regardless, I raise here with or without the limper.

Flop, I'd raise a little more, maybe $50 total.

Turn and river are perfect.

In general, nicely played.

ps. ignore fsu, he just listens to what I tell him and tries to beat me with the reply.

Thanks for the replies I appreciate it.

Im trying to get better and I find your replies very useful.

EDIT: Oh I forgot to ask, I think I saw somewhere that 2/4 should be posted in smallstakes, Is that correct? If so I appologize.
