    More on flop

    Maybe a little more on turn

    Jam river

    Flop is bone dry so don't mind half-pot there.

    Turn having been called I'd bet a bit more for value plus river shove will be easier.

    River with his stack size just bet pot for max value.

    I generally like a 2/3s flop and turn and 85% river sizing. However I like your bet sizing throughout, except river, given the circumstances of this hand. I think you may aswell shove river given what they have left behind.

    You cant really rep many bluffs given their were 5 players to the flop and you bet flop, as you should. Your bets are either milking or slightly pot controlling, blockish bets Therefore the opponent may call you down with weaker hands given what your sizing is repping. With this sizing you still end up winning a juicy pot, as the pot has been inflated by the number of players who went to the flop. Also you give the opponent a greater license to go over the top of your bets, if he thinks they are blockish type bets, and he may go over the top of you with weaker hands. And you could get all of his chips this way.

    But I would shove river given what they have behind. If they have another £3 £4 behind i like a bet that looks like a blocker bet at the end then call shove obviously.

      I don't see anything wrong with your betting except i would probally shove on river due to villians stack size being a lot smaller

    As most have saidyou should definately be bet sizing your big hands to get all of their stack. And as his wasn't a big stack it should have been easy to size your bet to get it all. Even as played you could shove the river, as if he calls what you bet he likely calls a shove.

    I like the way you played the hand, tempting isnt it to check the flop when you have such a monster?

    Pretty inexcusable to leave 36 bb's on the table on the river though. ( even if he flatted with a str8 - i guess anything's possible at this level )
