I'm somewhat new to the table. My image is probably pretty tight as I've only shown down once and I had top two.

<font color="red">Hero bets $2.50</font>

The flop bet seemed weak, like a scared Cbet. I figured i could call on my flush alone but I could probably bet any scary card to fall and take it down too. When the second queen fell and he bet small again I didn't think he had anything. So put some cash out on the river, thoughts?

I think the riverbet is to low if you want to take down the pot.

I'd occasionally c/r the flop, particularly after a bet that weak, but this all looks okay.

i think your line is a bit passive... I would have called the flop bet en raised the turn in this spot. Create some folding equity. But a call on the turn is also fine (ur getting nice odds)on the river a PSB is required to take this down imo

The Q isn't a card that's really going to change many minds about what's going on, and if you do happen to run into a Q this line is expensive. You're getting pretty close to direct odds to make a call profitable at the moment, your opponents in general aren't going to be super foldy, and I think your equity on money that goes in if you do raise is pretty poor. So I don't like that play in this spot.

just give up on it, you've played it too passively for him to believe anything

Vyse - in which spots do you recommend raising to create a better spot on the hand? Or do you think I should continue to play this line and wait for different spots to float?

Based on this, c/r sounds far better than leading river.

Just call w/ your draw and forget making a play
