5/10 Live at the Taj: Middle Set Deep

First off I think that you need to pop this up on the flop to about 1100. You cold calling here may induce the original bettor to call, and you don't want this due to the fact that this is a very drawy board. You may just be letting him get away from two pair hands by re raising the flop, but you have to pick your poison here. Taking the pot right here is not the worst thing that can happen.

On the turn, you HAVE to raise, his weak bet doesn't make sense as a trap to induce a raise at all. Your cold call on the flop is telling him you have a hand, so why wouldnt he bet big? It looks like a little block bet, I would immediately put him on a flush draw here, maybe a straight flush draw such as AsJs.

River fold is fine, my read is that he rivered the nuts or close to it, insta push is a sign of strength rather than weakness here.

Edit: Just read that he was indeed on a flush draw. Good fold.

Interesting hand. Kudos to OP!

Dear god please shove the turn, he never has a straight with that bet. River is an easy fold since your hand looks a lot like a draw, and he's now shoving when the third spade hits. But I'd like to reiterate that not pushing this weak ass turn bet is awful.

With that board and his retarded bet on the turn, it's an instant all-in. I'd think you're ahead like 95% of the time after he makes a turn bet like that

i think a raise to 1200 on the turn is absolutely necessary

from my experience, a lot of times when guys like this (loose, passive, foreign) make comments liek this, they are always trying to buy free cards.
