PS 200NL. 6max

Like Nuke LaLoosh I figured I'd just overpower'm.

1st hand at the table. I accidentially post in MP (which I always seem to do at PS non-fast table for some reason) with A[d] K[c]. I raise to $8 and the CO calls. HU.

Flop $(19) 9[s] 5[s] 2[d]. I lead $16 and he calls.

Turn ($51). A[s]. I ck, he bets $50, I CRAI.

Good pitch or did he just hit the bull and win a free steak?

I doubt the guy bets full pot with a flush. I would like this a hell of alot better if you had the .

In other words, if you had the , I would like the CRAI better than betting the turn.

I dont hate the play though because I think hes folding.

I thought a lot of people might hate this hand, and its the reason I posted it.

I didn't think for a second he had a flush, but more likely had a high spade. I don't want a call. I'm happy with a fold.

I see lots of posts where we say don't raise the flop/turn because only better hands call, etc. Yet, I see time and time again people call me with stupid hands. In this hand, he called with Q[h] Q[s] and missed. He went on to play solid, winning TAG.

I bet lots of flops, and I love to raise a flop bet when I have a good hand/draw. People get really sick of that. It doesn't take long for them to stop respecting your raises. So they call with a dominated hand like this one.

Also, I check lots of turns. A sponge/calling station guy can take advantage of me a lot by just calling me down. I have to CRAI on the turn occassionally so that people respect the turn check.
