How did I play this? Was it okay to call on the turn? I felt there was a decent chance he had two pair on the flop, which gave me some outs. Did I play too aggressive on the river? Props to anyone that can guess what was Villains hand. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Ok goddamn. I just realized I just posted this hand a few hours earlier today.

Most people said I shouldve called the turn, but I didnt show what happened in the river in that post. So... what should I have done on the river? Thx guys.

judging from the action youre probably beat on the turn. he has a smaller set probably. i would checkraise the river given all his strength.

That is a bit of a strange position, but I think you played it fine. You 3-bet the flop and villain just called, so at that point you have to judge that you're probably ahead--couldn't he have top pair or 99? When you are raised on the turn, you are most likely behind, and I really like betting into him on the river because his likely 2p or set will raise, allowing you to 3-bet, and you eliminate the small chance that the river would be checked through.

Btw, how do you think 3/6 at party compares to stars? I'm curious why you're not playing at party...

I played at Pstars because I had a LOAD of bonuses that Ive hoarded up. I was playing mostly 2/4 6max but I tried out the 3/6 6max games too.

I actually play Party 3/6 6max now. Havent really played it that much to make an accurate assessment, but I feel Party 3/6 6max is very comparable to Pokerstars 2/4 6max game. The difficulty is about the same.
