Getting Value 25NL

How was this? Could I have got more value by raising less or just calling the turn.
No reads as this is Villans first hand at the table.

This is a general problem I've been having with my big hands, I play an aggressive game and I often find myself thinking I've scared an opp off a hand when I could have got more value.

call and call a river shove or shove the river yourself if he checks/bets small.

Agreed.

Exactly. You are in position so do what Spenda said.

the problem with pushing the turn is the board is dry so you can't rep a draw, and you don't need to protect.
you might as well let him think his 2pr or whatever is good and call the turn.

I think you can fold to the turn check-raise. If he had two pair he'd probably raise the flop to protect his hand. I put him squarely on 99.

(don't post results)

I think calling the turn might be a little better but you really played it fine and I'd expect you to get called here the vast majority of the time.

and mcatdog pwns. i agree though...theres not much difference with calling vs raising the turn since villain reps 2pr+ and prob isnt bluffing.

Don't fold sets
