UTG is Kristelita or whatever, I think there was a post about him/her a few days ago. Gives a new definition to the term rock, but I've seen some weird things. I think I screwed this up on the turn, maybe, go for the check-raise? After the turn, putting any money in on the river is suicide, right?

[thabadguy]

I probably check/fold river...maybe check/call depending on opponent, but i see opponent having a queen here most of the time. Turn CR is way to go.

[technologic]

check calling on turn is fine...she's giving you 3-1 for the flush?

[thabadguy]

I think i would CR turn most of the time for metagame purposes, mainly to steal when i dont actually have the A and wanna CR to represent it, a lotta my profit comes from stealing.

[AZK]

Right, I'm just trying to see if raising the turn rather than calling is any better...

[gomberg]

I don't know - I'm a sucker for odds here and you're out of position. If you CR and get called, you're in a terrible river spot. Really depends on player and his view of you. I'd want a pretty high chance of success with this move. I like the call.

On the river, check-fold most likely.

you could make it 400 on the flop. you could lead the turn. or you coud play it just the way you did.

what is our concern on the flop? a set, 2 pair? would this "rock" raise with a draw?
