I have only been at the table for about 10 hands so no real reads....each street is a different bear in this one...so I am going to post up until the flop here wait for some replies and then post the turn action.

His raise on the flop was instant, almost like he had the raise any button checked.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (6 handed) from (Format: Bet The Pot)

CO ($92)
Button ($260.05)
Hero ($219.90)
BB ($239.90)
UTG ($112.30)
MP ($98.90)

Preflop: Hero is SB with , .
2 folds, CO calls $2, 1 fold, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($6) , , (3 players)
Hero bets $6, BB raises to $12, CO folds, Hero ????

Call.

I push these. If he's got a set or something ur still good because of your monsther draw, and if you make him fold you get the pot and set him up to call you lighter in future hands. And of course it would really suck ass if you just called and he had a higher heart draw..

I really consider it important to take every opportunity you can to appear LAG even if you really aren't, to get ppl to pay you off more easily.

O.K. perhaps the flop was not as interesting as I though. I ended up just calling more or less b/c I was out of position and I didn't want to have to be stuck in an awkward position if I missed everything on the turn. I think pushing is a bit excessive considering what is in the pot and our stack sizes.


Turn: ($30) (2 players)
Hero...whats my play? Lead out...check raise, check call?

Check-raise.

I think protecting my hand is my priority here. I don't want to give a higher flush draw a cheap shot at catching, so I'm betting out hard. I am putting $22-25 into the pot here.

O.K. I checked the turn he bet $20 and I check raised to $60. He insta called.

On to the river

River: ($150) .

Hero is first to act and????? I have about $140 left and villan has me covered.
