1. I'm trying not to be such a nit in LP and raise more - so I decided to pop it up. I know, "raise more". Not my question here. Question - SHOULD I have raised here?
2. Who fires the second shot despite the weak kicker?
3. And my real problem here - should I have blocked this river? Should I have called this? I put him on J-Q or J-K for the higher flush and folded (of course, I was outkicked the whole time)
This was a real head-scratcher of a hand for me vs. a very good player. Help is appreciated.
