Final Pot: $36

Looking back I guess I should have made the flop bet about pot size. But what about the turn bet? I didn't think the J was specifically scary.

[whyzze]

ya. Your flop bet sucks. But he doesn't have enough money behind on the turn anyways.

Bet 5 on flop. Put him all in on the turn no matter what card peels.

[burninnoise]

i would check/raise the flop ....

[Afro_Love]

I didn't like that line because it's so wet, everyone might check.

Agreed. Not a fan of checkraising this flop. With villian's stack, betting $5 on the flop makes the turn card irrelevant.
