what were you trying to achieve with ur raises?

what sort of hands did you think he could have?

what do you think he leads with, how many of those hands does he call a raise with?

when he leads turn again why did you raise?

learn to fold

pod1

the guy had played over 80% flops, post flop i was playin against an over pair or 2 kings, turn i was playin against over pair and 1 king, harvey if you think i am putting down a fh at this point then mmm wrong. at the river my thinking was if you have a king so be it well played.

Right so a K is unlikley to bet the flop. Raise much stronger, id be happy to take it there.

Anyways as played same again on the turn.

River the J you didnt want to see, but your priced to call. Although i think the stronger bet shows that you have to fold.

thanks don, nicely put

Pre- Played fine

Flop Raise more, Min raising may represent strength to you but is giving people a chance to catch up and your not really finding anything about what your opponent is having. If you 3/4 bet his silly raise then you can either take it down or have a better picture whether he has a hand

Turn Raise more/ enough to put you all in if you dont think they have the king this is the main point here, you have to rely on your reads at this point and either want to be shoving or folding here

River as played, can sort of understand due to you wouldn't put him on a king and only 1 overpair which as he was playing 80% of hands you felt your fh was good

Main thing is i dont think min raise is a good move unless you have the nuts as you are more likely going to get outdrawn playing it this way.

dont like the raise on the flop, not enough to start with and in any case you rarely get called by worse, a lot of the time this would be an 8 or A high and you dont them to fold out. i prefer flat flop then prob shove turn when the 3rd K comes and hope to get called by an 8 or A high donkey
