Hello everyone,
Do you think I played this hand correctly? If not, what do you think I could have done better?
I was really unsure about betting the flop, but somehow, I didn't want to give free cards to 2 opps on such a wet flop. I decided to bet at least 1/2 pot to see where I stand in this spot.
OTT I checked hoping my opponent would check behind. I don't think that I could have folded to his small bet with my top pair.
Same reasoning for the river.
