FF,

Why did you check the turn?

Diablo,

When running bad I often check behind on the turn here in order to both practice pot control and make my hand more transparent.

So why raise the river if your doing it for pot control....?

He's less likely to make a move on the river than the turn was the thinking, so I can make a value bet in on the river whereas on the turn I'd have a tough decision to make if he c/rs was the thinking. Needless to say I'm not happy with how I played this hand in general. Now on to the river action
