did the pot get as big as it could have?

Ok, ideally, this would have been capped each time with all players - but realistically, do you think any more $$ could have got in there with a (re)raise preflop/flop... I know I could have raised on the turn, but that might have prevented the cap on the river... thoughts fellow FCP'ers?1/2 limitANTES/BLINDSYukonPoker [ 9:club: ,9:heart: ] posts blind ($0.50), bartzz posts blind ($1).PRE-FLOPSirPrize calls $1, PokerNovice9 folds, ricestud folds, Panoramixx calls $1, julie224 folds, Yungi folds, 1freeone folds, YukonPoker calls $0.50, bartzz checks.FLOP [board cards Q:spade: ,5:diamond: ,9:spade: ]YukonPoker checks, bartzz checks, SirPrize checks, Panoramixx bets $1, YukonPoker calls $1, bartzz calls $1, SirPrize calls $1.TURN [board cards Q:spade: ,5:diamond: ,9:spade: ,Q:diamond: ]YukonPoker checks, bartzz checks, SirPrize checks, Panoramixx bets $2, YukonPoker calls $2, bartzz folds, SirPrize folds.RIVER [board cards Q:spade: ,5:diamond: ,9:spade: ,Q:diamond: ,8:diamond: ]YukonPoker bets $2, Panoramixx bets $4, YukonPoker bets $4, Panoramixx bets $4, YukonPoker calls $2.SHOWDOWNPanoramixx shows [ 5:club:,5:heart: ] Full house, Fives full of QueensYukonPoker shows [ 9:club:,9:heart: ] Full house, Nines full of QueensYukonPoker wins $26.75.

Meh, I still raise the turn. If the guy had a Q or pocket fives, you are going to get plenty of action anyway. If he had J-10 or a flush draw, there is no reason to not charge him more just because he was drawing dead. In addition, if the guy misses his draw (if he was on one), you aren't getting any action on the river, so charge him as much as you can on the turn. Oh yeah, and raise the flop too, there are straight draws and flush draws out there that you must fear and want to knock out of the hand.
