Flop (2700.00) Q♣ 5♠ J♥
Hero checks, SB checks.

Turn (2700.00) 7♠
Hero checks, SB checks.

River (2700.00) 7♦
Hero bets 600.00, SB raises to 1800.00, Hero moves all-in for 8630.00, SB moves all-in for 2170.00

i tried a check/raise on the flop and turn. on the river i still go down with top two pair HU.
how about a bet on the turn?

I don´t think he´dl give you enough credit on flop, so I´d bet about 1700 or more there and continue doing it till showdown.

I would bet out on the flop, you need to know if he is raising with a genuine hand or stealing.
If he has AK, A10, checking gives him a free shot at his straight. If he has AQ, KK, AA he is pushing back at you.
If you check flop as you did, you should definately bet the turn.
As played, on river its very hard not to put him all in unless you put him on 7x, AA, KK, QQ, JJ

I pretty much always shove this preflop, you don't have enough BB to play postflop. I would also call if he pushed preflop.

I don't always c/r this flop, c/c is good when he makes a big enough bet (money has to get in on turn or river). Donkbetting the flop isn't really an option, only when it "fits the game dynamic".

As played halfpot bet on turn and shove river imo ^^

Hi all,

Pushing preflop is OK against any non-tight opponent. Like viewer88 says, we can even call a shove preflop so...

As played I like flop but I would bet the turn here to get it all-in easily by the river. As played bet way more on the river. Something like pot size is best.

For others: in general never donkbet (= bet out) on the flop if we just call a raise preflop if the pot is heads up. ALWAYS check/raise or check/call.
