Villain has $15, Hero covers

20NL 6max

3 limpers, I check 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in BB.

Flop
3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I lead for pot (0.80), only villain calls.

Turn (Pot $1.60) K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I check, villain bets $1, I raise to $4.5. Villain calls

River (Pot $10.60) A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
I push, basically a little less than a PSB to villain.

Any comments on this hand?

I felt like my turn check may not be good- I am letting him draw clubs, diamonds, or a str8 draw for free if he doesn't bet. But I wanted to get as much money in there as possible. Maybe check raise flop?

I also felt like my river push may not be a good play, I may only be called by a hand that beats me, and I'll never fold out anything better.

lead turn here. it's an unraised pot, and without reads its no place to get tricky. I play the river the same.

Depends what you put him on. You think he is drawing or weak, check on the turn is better since it induces a bluff. I think a wheel, Ace of clubs and weired two pairs are all well withing villains range and the push is fine. I would probably c/r if an ace did not come.

i just led all 3 streets. If villian is decent he will probably fold alot of mediocre hands to the c/r on the turn.

I'm no expert, but I don't think many backdoor flush possibilities are scary here since both the Ace and King of diamonds are what came. He's showing strength with the call flop, lead/call turn. I'd say he has a decent PP, maybe 2 pair, possibly trips. All of those are wonderful for you, as they will pay off the monies. I don't see you being beat here very often.
