A hand I was just in. The villan has been making good basically decent/tight plays since I sat down. He and I tangled on one hand where he beat me which I believe leads him to think he knows my play well. He had been leading into me post flop. I am curious to hear feedback on how I playd this hand not just after the river

Not bad, but definitely raise the turn. You want a flush draw to pay before he knows whether or not he's hit. It's a shame that the flop didn't come A 3 3 or something, where you could feel more confident that they might have something they wanted to go crazy with.

I was wondering if I should have raised the turn but didn't want to scare him off. In an earlier hand I flopped a set with pocket 3's. He bet out and I min raised - he folded. I definitely didn't want that to happen on this hand.

I agree about the flop - one high card comes out with those 3's and this hand probably gets a lot better
Thanx

Yeah, it's really easy for me to say "raise the turn" when I'm not the one in the hand. When you're actually there, it's hard to feel like you won't scare him off. The way the hand played out, you probably won as much as you were going to (i.e. if you raised to $6, he might have called and check-folded the river).

You did alot better than I did last night with quads (made more $$)... Dont know if you could have played it any better. If you raise it on the turn knowing what he is holding he prob folds with a smallish reraise.

I raise the flop. Then check behind on the turn.




EDIT: I would've raised preflop. Every time you limp early you shout PP or SC.

I like raising the turn. There are both straight and flush draws.
