Should I have pushed harder on the river? Bet the turn?

it seems to me like you overvalued your hand...with a bet and a raise on this flop your 2p is not looking so good...especially because bottom 2 is so vulnerable here... it IS a min raise and it IS nl 5 but here i like a smooth call with an attempt to boat because of this cheap price... this is a tough spot... (maybe raising is right and im just a nit) but as played the turn and river are fine...with that turn card...then river card...2 pair no good. you played it fine imo

you played this fine imo, i would have tried to get as much in on the flop as possible, but too many draws got there to call this bet on the river

[Waingro]

I agree, 3bet on the flop is good. The rest is also good.

I think your play was fine. You probably had the best hand on the flop, but I think villian had a combo draw and probably out drew you on the turn. By the river I'm sure he's ahead, so good fold.

NH.

To the guy who said we're in trouble on the flop minraise, that means absolutely nothing. The 3-bet was excellent, and when the draws hit, he slowed way down.

Very good job here.
