I did it again!

Well, I screwed up here. I hate my river call. I checked the turn to induce this action, and that's why I called. But my river play was stupid, induced by my stupid turn play.

Don't let this happen to you. Or at least if you do, try to learn something from it.

I hate it when I do that. Greed is a deadly sin.

Greed is a deadly sin.

That's an excellent summary of my stupidness on this hand.

Jesus, that got out of control fast. I like your turn play if, and only if, villain will fold to any bet on the turn, but will bluff lead on the river. But, inducing a bluff in this situation means you simply call. Raising in this instance will most often simply fold a worse hand, but will on occasion lose you the entire pot.

Great induce on the turn. Bad raise on river in my opinion.

Check the turn when the board's not so coordinated. You got two clubs and straight cards out there. Better to bet the turn, call the river, IMO. As played, I'd seriously consider calling the river $3. It's not much, but when you gave up the betting impetus, you allowed him to control the pot size. Fold to his 3-bet push, but you probably know that.

I agree that my river raise was bad. I'm not sure I agree that my induce was not an error. But I'm listening...

Little hand, little pot. Big hand, big pot.

I'm not even gonna mention that it's a draw heavy board. What hand do you put your opponent on here?

you almost are never winning when he pushes the river
