What do you think about my line? Should I have rather shoved the turn instead of betting small? At the time I thought I had a higher chance to barrel him off his hand by firing 2 bullets instead of one...
But looking at it now I'd prefer to go all in on the turn, since I can also represent 2pair combinations that I would shove to protect my hand against dangerous rivers...
Still can't believe he called :wtf:

First, I recommend removing the outcome of the hand or put it in a spoiler next time. It could influence the feedback what you get.

I expect we are playing against an unknown and then is floating on the flop tricky, but I don’t think it’s bad on a wet board like this. If you are planning to over shove this turn you are saying against him that you have the flush or a complete bluff I think and your line looks stronger in my opinion, but it didn’t work out this time.

Cheers,

Hey,
looks a lot like your newest hand you posted. I think you overvalue your hands. Flop hits his range with all the broadways he could be reraising flop or some A9+ hands. River push again seems like a "please dont have a better hand".
What do you put him on the river with your valuebet ? I see him only calling with better
