Im a fan of pushing, pushing, pushing when playing nl; ofcourse with the ability to make big laydowns, etc etc.

Here is the type of hand I'll sometimes slow down on. Mainly because the turn card could've made my opponent's hands, I'm out of position, plus I don't want to give them the opportunity to raise in position and make it very expensive considering all my outs.

Anyway, heres the hand. Thoughts?

Looks good to me. How does your thinking change if he decides to overbet with $25 on the turn?

I think not betting the turn is a little timid, but since it sucks to get raised I don't mind the way you played it.

Just curious, are you calling a roughly pot sized river bet?

I think the turn play is a bit too weak... but if ur just changing it up it's not a horrible play. U can't always do the same thing in every situation. NL especially.
