Final Pot: t2125

Did I play this hand okay? Usually I see all those draws on the board and I just fold but I decided not to this time. I couldn't put him on a ten or diamonds. Also the river bet by villian at this level, seems like a blocking bet to make me fold. The only hand I really was afraid of here was AK maybe.

Bet 350 on the turn, fold to a raise.

Your flop bet needs to be like 200 or 220, in that area. I don't know how these play so well, but turn, are villains value betting like that with a hand you beat?

Hmmm, he could possibly have had A 10 as well as A K. But I would agree with the first comment, bet 350-400ish on the turn and if he raises I'd go ahead and fold believing that I'm beat.

Your flop bet on the board was way to small - make it pot-sized here against 2 villains on this draw heavy board.

I'd lead the turn with a 1/2 pot-size bet and shut down if you meet more resistance.
