I went all in of course. Was my turn bet too large?

I would have played it the same way as you more or less, perhaps I would have made the turn bet 4$ instead but that's a minor difference.

You should add the rest of the hand imo! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Not much to add. I went all in and he called with the magnificent 95s and I didn't improve.

[helloimcdog]

ehhh the minraise sucks on the turn there, obviously he feels very good about his hand but at that point theres almost 40 dollars in the pot and you have about 12 or so left, i think this is probably an insta-call.

I would of played the same way. Sounds like a BBV hand.

[Bonesy]

It's not BBV. I committed myself to the hand on the turn. I was wondering if I can make a smaller bet or is checking a consderation so as not to commit myself. For those interested he had 9 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif5 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
