Is there a way I could have improved the way I played this hand?

Vilain's stats are 38/2.5/1.11.

Did I play this fine or there's a way I could have played it better?

I make it $3 pf. and I bet the turn myself, if hes gonna float me with any K here with no draw good for him. Im stacking off.

How much? 12-13$ ?

[RichAM]

$10 is fine ... make him pay for his AJ or flush draw

[barryc83]

$13-14 IMO. If you raise to $3 pf, the pot is $8.50 on the flop, you bet $6, and then shove the turn for just under a PSB.

yeah ... dont check the turn ... if you get raised after double barreling then you can let it go

This is the best way IMO. I dont see why you called the turn if your not calling a river bet. He bets any jack on the turn and will continue firing on the river.

If your raised when the king hits, it makes an easy fold. But checking the turn is really weak and gives him a chance to draw for free/bluff you off your hand.

I agree with about a $3 opening bet. You are OOPsy.

The flop is where you end it with a pot to pot and a half.


... If it gets to the turn, well you are committed at this point, and if your opponent drew a K, that's lame but rebuy and bust him later with a made hand.
