[Blackchipper 0]

It was a long night, had a bat beat in an awful $60 MTT so i was just playin a little 1/2 and came across this hand. My Question is how could i have maximized my proift more... and was just calling the river too p.ussy?? Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 max, 9 handed) converterPreflop: Hero is BB with [Ts], [Qs]. UTG raises, Hero calls.Flop: (10.50 SB) [6c], [Jh], [9s] (5 players)Hero checks, UTG bets, UTG+1 folds, MP3 folds, Button calls, Hero calls.Turn: (6.75 BB) [8c] (3 players)Hero bets, UTG calls, Button calls.River: (9.75 BB) [9d] (3 players)Hero bets, Hero calls, UTG calls.Final Pot: 15.75 BB

I'm thinking i could have gotten more on the flop and the river, but is that always the route to take?

Pre-flop and flop are fine.I like to try the check-raise on the turn since you hold the nut straight. The river makes a boat a possibility (if he was calling with 2 pair), so I may call it down on the river.Dev

check raise the turnraise the river and call a 3 bet

raise the river and call a 3 bet

I retract my statement about calling down the river - its a bit weak. I agree with calling a 3bet.Dev

He's first to act, so there's no 3-bet to call on the river unless he checks first. I think checking the river is a big mistake. Anything marginal gets to showdown for free.

im not sure about the river 3-bet.Anyone go for overcalls. We are sure we have UTG beat. You have to be right that our straight is good 2/3 of the time.

I think you can get more from 3 betting it, cause the play can get capped. I don't doubt this donk utg would go along for the ride, he has so far for the entire hand

thanks for the tips guys, I shoulda 3 bet the river as well, he wasn't really playing 2 pair or a set up to that point anyway
