TP2K vs all in on river

[castigar]

I only had 6 hands on vilain. His line didn't seem like a draw to me but on the river BAM..AI

Do you guys think this is a bluff or he has a str8 or flush?

Very unlikely that this is a bluff from the amount of strength you've shown throughout the hand, so a fold is probably in order. The river should have definitely been checked down. Theres no value in betting the river because only better hands will call.

Check behind on the river. The only draw got there(his line looks like a draw), and you no longer beat any reasonable Queens either.

More on flop. More on turn.

$1 and $2.50 respectively.

Check river behind sir. Given how the hand's played out, he's ahead of you too often when that spade comes. What exactly do you put him on after he calls your turn bet?

Also, definitely raise bigger on the flop and turn.

I think you played it close to perfectly. I've read in other areas on the site those small bets are called blocking bets to attempt to draw cheaply. I agree that you should have bet the pot or more back at him when he attempted the blocking bet. Maybe it's a leak in my game but, I usually bet about 125% of the pot back at someone that makes a blocking bet. They fold close to 80% of the time and I'd say most of those give it up on the turn if they are drawing and miss again.

Good fold. I think he has a flush.

I'm not sure I like the river bet in the first place, by the way, although I suppose you might get paid by T9/KT/AT.

What the broad with the cans said

[danny8]

like others have said, raise more on the flop/turn for protection and value. check behind river, hes not calling with anything you beat and its v.likely he just hit his flush

[Capone]

Raise more on teh flop and turn.

As played I like river fold. He has the flush heremore often then not.
