Should I have led out on the flop?

[pearljam]

I should have bet this flop, then just folded to a re raise right?

i would have played this the same, but depending on the limit ur playing should decide the fold at the end, you made right bet on turn to shut out the flush, i may have been tempted to call this bet if i knew the player was of a reasonable standard as he would not call turn bet to hit a flush.

I would have bet out about 100 and probably folded to a reraise.

I wouldn't have completed preflop. I probably would have folded, but might have raised.

I was the big blind, also this is a 22$.

You're right. Dammit. I blame Lastchance. I've was trying to answer before he got in there.

I would have checked from the BB as you did. And then I would have led out about 100.

[pearljam]

assuming you played it like me, do you fold the river?

[lastchance]

I think on that flop, checking is fine. I sure as hell don't fold two pair on the end though. Value bet it, all-in.

Then again, I suck at playing postflop.

With t150 in the flop, leading out on the flop is good. And you obviously lead the turn for all of your chips too.

It's really hard. So many draws filled up on the river. But, when he overbets the pot, I don't think he usually wants a call. So I call. If he had bet 250 or 300 I think I'd fold.

Before I read this, it was an easy fold for me. Now, I'm not sure anymore. He might have been representing a drawn flush without having one. Tough decision for the OP...

[chisness]

are you checking flop with intention of folding to bet?

i probably play this exactly as you did
