One bump, any other thoughts or is this straightforward?

I would have preferred a check call/check raise on the turn...

JT just got there and AK/88 is still a possibility ...but I think that the fact that its live means I get it in...

Looking at it now, I agree, should have c/c. This is a spot that even though I have a strong hand, I should be trying to keep the pot small and see a showdown cheap, rather than protecting against draws. If I check and the river brings a J, T or heart, so be it and I pretty much c/f. (I don't see why a c/r would be good here though. I pick up a bluff/semi-bluff bet from him when he hasn't made a strong hand yet, but I end up in the same spot as I am now when he either has something or continues with the bluff and pushes over my c/r. Except it cost me $80-$90 instead of $20. Can you shed some light?)

As played, I think it's pretty close on push or fold, so I guess it doesn't matter much which way I go. AA-QQ he's probably reraising pf, and KQ he probably raises on the flop. That leaves his range as I see it as AK (although I would think he'd raise that on the flop too), AQ, JT, 88, AhXh, maybe something like 10h9h, and a bluff 'cause he thinks I've just fired a second barrel. Looks pretty close to me.

Well my line would be to check call... that river would be scary for him as your line would show tons of strength...

You're right though that you have a showdownable hand and the moment you push over his check-raise you are getting taken to value town by better hands...

Its live though and full ring....so its not as simple as playing online and its your first hand !

I would say this is 88 80% of the time at the very least !

I think your bets look weak, bet more on flop (16) and more on turn (32). the way you played it I have no idea what to do so I prolly call and cry
