Brag - Put someone on a hand

[pokeraussie]

Losing the pot didn't hurt so much considering I minimized my losses

Getting 3 outed is a bit of a trend of late

I guess a better brag was to shove the river and get him to fold the better hand, but I had no idea if he was capable of folding top two.

in this spot you've got to c bet the turn and shove the river imo

Not when you have sick hand reading abilities

I very much doubt he was folding top two after calling the flop raise, but I agree you are triple barreling if you do bet OTT.

Flop check raise is terrible on such a coordinated board. Turn and river are equally bad. The only street i actually like is preflop.

[actyper]

Wasn't a flop check raise, but I hate the sizing, way too small. I'm not sure how you deduce he had KQ there, but i'm sure your missing a river value bet 95% of the time.

[pokeraussie]

Yeah I should have raised the flop bigger, but it's still a terrible turn card.

[leporello]

Yeah like bet/fold river is infinitely better than a check back, but sweet all the same i guess.

if you're gonna re-raise the flop, at least make it $6. I also have no idea why you floated the turn with two spades on the board lol. Either way that's a horrible check on the river by him after making his hand. retard.

I'm not sure how you deduce he had KQ there.

Not that difficult really. A really strong draw is more then likely C/R and wanting to ship it, so when he donk bets he likely has a TP hand which he wants to protect, hence why I raised the flop with the plan to bet the turn if it wasn't a Q.

Like I said I probably should have raised the flop bigger. The sizing isn't horrible though because I wanted his dominated hand to call. If the turn didn't hit the flush he was calling the turn so I am still extracting a lot of value from my hand.

What you're saying doesn't add up. You floated the turn in position and didn't make him pay to see the flush.

You've made one small mistake and one horrific mistake in this hand. NOthing explains floating the turn. Unless maybe you wanted him to catch up but that still doesn't make sense considering he did catch up and beat you.

NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING.
