Just wondering if i played this hand right. I'm thinking he's either got a set or he's on some kind of straight draw with top pair/middle pair. On turn, i knew i had the best hand cause i made a boat, :) Unless of course he's got pocket Q's which makes quads but what are the odds of that?

Hello!

I'd raise 200 preflop (standard 4bb+1bb for the limper). Then I would of course c-bet the flop as I definetely don't want to give away a free card to a draw and get outdrawn on the turn. If he raises my flop bet I'm most likely shoving here, depending on the size of his raise. Check raising flop without the initiative (if he actually bets) would also be very suspicious and I believe that too many hands that would otherwise call you down will just fold so you are losing value here. The same goes for the turn check/raise, I recommend you to stay away from such moves and rather play straightforward poker, in this case c-bet all the way and try to get all your money in. Also if you c-bet all the time and then check/raise once people will become suspicious and if they have a brain put you on a polarized range.

Headsup I cbet this flop with my entire range here (every hand I raise preflop from BB). So that means I bet/shove if he reraises.

As played I bet turn like halfpot and shove river.

Hi all,

I like the raisesizeing preflop.

As for postflop I would bet about half potsize and call a raise. As played after checking I think calling the bet is slightly better as it's really hard for him to call your raise.

As played on the turn I would just put the money in.
