SB likes to lead with little tiny bets when he has a 8/9-out draw, as I've seen him do multiple times, so I'm almost certain he's on a flush draw. I think I should have bet the turn harder. River is obvious check. Thoughts?

I like it but I would raise the turn a little harder.

If you raise turn harder to like $45 you might have committed yourself to call any river

Which may or may not be a bad thing.

Here's a hand you may find relevant that Renton and I played. We both agreed that the river was a fold vs this opponent. I'm not sure if flop and turn should be larger raises, but they're definitely good as is. The other option is basically raising flop to 23/25 then pushing turn. In this situation, I dunno about that, but if we KNEW villian had a fd then raising larger on flop then getting it in on turn would probably be best. Yeah, the latter line has gotta be best, actually, since I don't wanna hafta consider folding to a shove on a blank river vs this station, and it's not like he's folding a jack.

Well played in the last one wufwugy. I don't see you or Renton that often at 1/2

Fullring's not good enough for Rentpn, and I avoid you like the plague, didn't you know????

In the Kings hand, I really like shoving the turn.

Originally I dismissed a shove thinking that it made his decision too easy. Say I raise to $40, then a call is incorrect for him (if he just has 9 outs) but more likely than if I go all-in.

But now the more I think about it, the more I like pushing since it's likely he has more than 9 outs and it's likely that he's a dumbass and might call a shove with incorrect odds anyway.

river may be a check, but its definitely not "obvious" and you should always entertain the option of making a veebee on this river generally. I'd be tempted to bet/fold like 19 bucks or something.

moral of the story is you should always at least consider it.

19 into 108? What?

yea why not

Actually, it's probably good vs this villian, but I don't like it vs a lot of others since we may get raised from time to time, and when they play a queen like this they call a bigger bet, and I don't think a worse pair plays turn like this.
