Pocket queens facing a small river bet

[Jaswarbrick]

Lolz i got caught out [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Ok thanks guys for the tips, i should raise more on the flop and definately bet the turn. Sometimes i just get nervous. (When my brother comes into the room maybe)?

I think i actually remember why for a split second i checked. I think it was because i was thinking of pot control and keeping the pot relatively small to the stacks so that i wasn't crossing the committment threshold. I have just finished reading PNLH but does this not apply here in this particular spot?

Jesus this is weak-tight. How can you simply call bet on river? Raise that [censored].

And no, when there's a flushdraw on the table, you can't let him get a free drawcard no matter what. This bet may well be a missed draw, trying to bluff you out. (Which obviously doesn't work when betting 1/8 of the pot)

You have villain's range crushed. Don't try to control the pot - unless "control" means to make it really big.

That river bet is a NL2 blocking bet. He wants a cheap showdown with his JT or something like that.

I most likely would have bet something like 60 cents at this spot.

60 cents isn't enough. Bet pot.

Easy raise on the river as played.
