First time posting. Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FCP)MP2 ($9.70)CO ($8.45)Button ($23.25)SB ($5.65)Hero ($7.55)UTG ($3.55)UTG+1 ($4.30) MP1 ($6.80)Preflop: Hero is BB with 6 :D , 4 :) . 3 folds, MP2 calls $0.10, 3 folds, Hero checks.Flop: ($0.25) 7 :club: , J :D , 5 :D (2 players)Hero checks, MP2 bets $0.1, Hero calls $0.10.Turn: ($0.45) A :) (2 players)Hero bets $0.25, MP2 calls $0.25.River: ($0.95) 8 :D (2 players)Hero bets $0.5, MP2 raises to $1.5, Hero ????What do you guys think? I've been playing relatively TAG, and the villain had just limped with K8o from the button the previous hand. He also just doubled up with Qs from the big blind about 15 hands ago, which seemed to cause him to switch to playing every hand after that. He had been playing fairly tight before.Edit: Sorry that this is in the wrong section. As stated before, I'm new here and just clicked the new topic button on someone else's post.

You are getting a very good price to call his raise at about 3:1. I think it's good enough to call this bet.

I don't understand your turn lead. I'm guessing it was designed to get a cheaper river, but I don't think I'm a big fan of it.River call is mandatory.

I like a blocker bet here. If we hit our draw we make more money, and we control the pot size on the turn.

I like it the turn bet actually as a semibluff, since he's unlikely to have an ace as played. Also works for the other reasons stated. Me, though, I probably would check call it and hope he checks the ace behind. Bluffing doesn't work too well at those stakes.

if you're not calling here for 3:1 you shouldn't have drawn to your open ender w/ the FD on board... you just made your hand-the only reason you're in this pot at all i'm assuming (didn't appear as if you were trying to bluff @ any point is what i'm saying) if he's got the flush he's got the flush... call.
if u dont like something, change it...
if u cant change it, change ur ATTITUDE...
