wat iv learend so far is that with top two you want to get chips in and get chips in fast

3 bet the flop is wat I would do here.

WOW i butchered the hand. thought u were the other guy.

raise a tad more on the flop so you can put him all in with a PSB on the turn.

Hmmm, I'm tempted to check the turn. If you're going to bet the turn I think I might just shove. A normal bet leaves for akward stack sizes on the river. Your line is ok I guess, I assume you got shown the flush. River call is standard given pot odds fyi.

I dont really think we should be betting this turn, especially when it leaves us such a small bet on the river. Checking behind could induce a bluff from hands that would have folded to our bet on the turn. Either way I think we are probably paying off a flush so inducing a bluff and/or representing less strength with our own hand should get more value out of this.

This line for villain, leading into PFRer, calling a raise, check/calling when the flush hits and then leading the river is almost always a flush; however without reads I dont think we can really fold that river as he could be getting tricky with a lot of things, but Id be surprised to win there often. Do you have any reads?

have to agree with checking the turn, especially if you arent going to be folding the river anyways. it allows a weaker ace to bet at you, or any hand to rep the flush, since you appeared to be afraid of it.

66 might play the same way too. It's hard to see a decent, thinking player not having you beat here. Did you have any notes on Jayberrius?
