Did I play this right. Pretty sure I was ahead on every street and looking for the best way to extract the most money. I wasn't sure if the turn was the correct time to raise, or should I possibly wait for the river?

Next hand was on FullTilt, wouldn't work on the converter, so I'll try to make this as neat as possible without it.

Turn is an obvious scare card, however the check/call doesn't really tell me anything, so I think I was right to bet out here. The button and BB just called indicating that neither was likely to have the flush. River is another scare card, I maybe should have folded to the river raise, but the pot is pretty big at this point.

Thoughts? Does anyone play either of these differently. I will post results later if anyone wants them.

*edit* first hand history fixed.

The hand history for your first hand looks messed up. Delete "Texas" from your hand history before converting.

hand one is OK, but I would just raise the flop.

hand 2 you might be able to find a fold on the river.

ya think folding the river here might be the way to go?




btw, hand one I raise the flop.. ur hand is vulnerable, protect it.

i dont see much that raises that we beat

ur right........but damnit they're so purrty :cry:

On the first hand you need to raise that flop to make the straight draws pay.

On the second hand check/call the river, theres a lot of hands that beat you and most draws on the board were completed.

check/calling the river kind of blows in the second hand. All middle pairs and jacks are checking behind, but all two pairs and straights are betting.

Which makes it a serious dilemna. Because I'm not sure what the AA can beat here. I find it hard to fold to a raise especially on the river because I want to see what beat me and I don't want to look weak. This is probably a leak, especially at this level. I can see though where check/calling is probably worse than betting out and calling a subsequent raise. What about just check/folding? Too weak?

check/fold is second to bet/fold
