Blind battle, how is my line
 

Villain is a good regular. 23/18/2.5 We had no particular history together, but I've been raising his BB a few times... I give you the hand until the hand, but comments on all streets are very appreciated...

Re: Blind battle, how is my line
 

fine imo somemtimes i slow down on turn with flush draw on paired board
sucks if he had a boat but i think its wp

Re: Blind battle, how is my line
 

i like a smaller bet on the river, like 275 to feign FE.

Its fun!

Nh tho.

Re: Blind battle, how is my line
 

id be a little scared about a boat, like u said uve been raising his bb so if he thought u were stealing wouldnt he reraise pf or on flop? a little scary that he calls both flop &amp; turn &amp; pushes river, unless he was planning to bluff raise river all along but why not just bluff reraise pf or flop. he cant really count on any f/e with river push, all that said i would have a very tough time folding here:)
