[econ_tim]

Continuing to post plays from the blinds.FullTilt $1/$2Preflop: econ_tim1 fold, UTG+1 calls, 3 folds, CO calls, 2 folds, econ_tim checks.Flop: (3.5 SB) [Td 3h 6s]econ_tim calls.Turn: (3.5 BB) [Js]econ_tim calls.[b]River: (5.5 BB) [Ks]econ_tim calls.Final pot: 11.5 BBSo this is a rather pedestrian hand. Get to see a free flop with trash from the big blind, and you catch a piece of it. I would like to go for a check raise, but since there was no preflop bettor, I bet out and hope to take down the pot.UTG+1 raises me, but he is pretty agressive and could raise with overs on this ragged flop.Turn gives me a flush draw, so I can check/call. Does anyone bet out here?On river, I C/R because UTG+1 is so agressive I am pretty sure he will bet. His 3 bet worries me a little, but he could just have a good non-flush hand.Comments?

I might put in another bet on the river. Your flush is well concealed and it's unlikely he has the flush if he raised the flop unless he has exactly AQs or A3s. Most likely he has two pair, possibly a straight, both of which he'll call a 4th bet with.

Ks and Js are already exposed and you have the Ts, so I agree that the only way he can have a flush is if he has AQs and simply tried to out bet you on the flop. It would be virtually impossible to raise 9Qs or 9As unless he's incredibly LAG.I think you should c/r the turn. In addition to flopped top pair, you've picked up a good flush draw. The river is definately worth another bet. You have the third nuts at the moment, and it's borderline impossible for him to have a better hand short of the aforementioned AQs. If you actually lost this hand so some crap such as 3Qs, try not to be discouraged, they donate it back with interest eventually.

I'm a big fan of the way you played this the whole way through, except that I like capping on the river for the aforementioned reasons (few players will 3-bet and fold to a cap on the river anyway).I'm learning a lot from these posts. Keep em up.

I would have reraised the flop. I would have check raised the turn in your situation. Well done.Imho

Think you played the hand fine except i would of capped the river. The only hands that beat you are higher flush's and he's probably 3bet 2 pair or a set assuming that you haven't gone runer runner for a flush.

With 2 potential straight draws on the flop, I would tend to think bottom pair wouldn't raise on this flop. However if it turns out he did have A3s, then you simply have to say nh and wait for the oppurtunity for him to pay you back.
