just think this hand through street by street, what were you trying to accomplish on each street and HOW. THen focus on the river last. what was this trying to accomplish? how do you normally play a hand that you want them to fold? (bc u obviously arent betting for value) Is your opponent capable of folding ... etc

[Austiger]

I actually think you might have folded the best hand on the river. Your bets need to be bigger to force your opponent into a tough decision.

I'd c/f river, possibly c/c but on this board I really wouldn't want to make a hero call with so many different possibilities of being beat. The river bet is pretty bad I think, what are you trying to accomplish? Seems like you just don't want to check and face a big bet from a busted draw so you bet and hope they're too scared to raise you.

Also, bet more on every street.

i think you can only make these halfpotish bets against good/better players who can respekt. against bad players they might see duurrr small bet durr i raise.

i don't think you have the best hand on the river though. he minraised after you bet three streets he's either looking for a call or is just terrible.

the river bet is pretty meh, he can easily call with a marginally better hand and you're not getting value out of a busted flush.

[Austiger]

I would seriously consider calling the raise on the end. This looks more like a missed draw the more I look at it. T9 is really the only other thing that makes sense, and why wouldn't he raise more? I mean, your line looks a lot like you have a draw, and yet he's not raising you flop or turn with those draws on the board. Now he's minraising the river as if it hit him, but how? Smells fishy. Smells like 65.

[LuckyDevil]

Yucky.

I laughed out loud when I read the title post.
