Very early on in a $2 multi-table PokerStars tournament, the Villain and I have been involved in three pots ... each one with him winning the pot with marginally better hands.

I flopped a full-house, but how was my play in this hand? I want to extract as much as possible from him.. yes I'm on tilt. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Never slowplay in a $2 tournament. The biggest weakness of the villains is that they call down too much. This is why we never bluff these villains in the early stages. Instead, we wait to flop good, and value bet the [censored] out of them. This is what you should have done here.

Preflop: fine.

Flop: Raise it to t200.

Turn: Bet t200.

River: I think I raise this to t450 and hope villain has 89, which is perfectly consistent with his line on all streets.

Imagine if villain had a heart draw here. If that was the case, you would have gotten value on the flop and the turn, because he would definitley have been willing to pay to draw to that. Obviously in that case, if the hearts hit you stack him anyway. If they don't though, the only way you get value is to bet on the flop, and on the turn.
