does this betting pattern look okay??

thanks again to all "constructive " posters. Good luck out there.

Raise the flop to 20-23 the first time. Given your min-raise, push when he makes it 25.

continue your xpert minraising ways and min 4-bet the flop.

just take you and your attitude somewhere else, okay.....you contribute nothing....

lol, i guess the xpert comment was uncalled for (my bad), but I really wasn't kidding about the min 4-bet. Minraising twice looks really fishy, it could induce a shove if he thinks your trying to resteal or if he has a draw, blah blah.

Minraise is horrible - gives him odds to call with all kinds of crap that you are certainly stacking off to. What will another minraise accomplish that a shove won't? Can't we cut out all this minraising BS and just play the hand properly - i.e. raise more, shove when he raises?

Thank you. I don't recall seeing this play, but perhaps i'll try it . I think the push is better though in most cases.

Make a larger raise on the flop

Don't really like the flop play either, however you may have made the most $ possible how you played. Villain bet $35 on turn then folded to your all in. Villain put in about 70% of stack then folded. Villain had absolutly nothing. If you push on flop he's folding.
