Bad Turn vs. Bad Player - 5/10NL 6max

I bet $590 and was obviously calling a push. He tanked then finally mucked - said he thought his 53o was behind after the turn card.

Betting smaller might have been better. Checking might have been okay too, although I woulda been pretty upset if another heart rolled off and he had the 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Still not sure about this spot. My default was just to bet and pray, but how often is he coming along without a flush or straight?

I hate to harp on the obvious, but if you had bet the flop you would have stacked him.

you obv have to push turn once you get there like that. Your bet makes no sense.

yeah, I like flop lead a lot better than checking here.

Lead flop. With that giant flop c/r you're lucky you didnt lose his overpair.

Anyway, as played, when he calls your big c/r, he doesnt put you on flush draw, so you can bet the rest on turn and he's probably calling. Just pause the right amount of time, and get all in on turn.
