Did I win the minimum here? I feel like generally I'd raise the river or 3 bet the turn here, but for some reason I didn't. I guess in my bones it felt like he mighta had aces up.

I agree with tib... If he had you beat on the turn, then the river did not help you, unless he had some sort of 'bookenders' like 85 or some jankpile of a hand like that. When you make trips on the river, theres too much of a temptation to think that you really improved over someone that had you beat eariler, but most of the time it doesnt help ya.

I dunno dude. I dont usually reraise the turn in the spot- not at 10/20 anyway. In a bigger game i might consider it, since the play gets awfully aggreessive there.

But, If you reraise and he has got a crappy hand he may dump it, so you win less, and if you get capped off, or CRed on the river, you lose way more. You stand to win at most one extra bet, but stand to lose upto 3 extra bets, if hes got you beat and plays smart. He couldve had aces up, or have flopped / turned a set.

I think your play is fine. I think this is your 'torrential' run mentality talkin here!
