Top trips played too slow?

Its my style to raise hard regardless of what I hit because I find someone is always chasing something. Could this hand have been avoided is I played it differently.

You already have the fish nibblingI throw the hammer down on the turn and bet $25. (if you want a call, overbet the pot, and some will assume you're bluffing) KT will re-raise you, and you have to let it go.

If you don't, you have to be ready to fold the the river :spade:. Unless you have a read and know PokerDiva will bluff.

Really make her pay to see that :spade:!!

Whenever I raise PF I like to bet 3/4 of the pot on the flop whether I hit or not on most boards. On this broadway board, I would probablty put out a pot sized bet.

I think you should have bet more on the turn. At that point, the pot is pretty juicy, so taking it down right there is good.
