    Default zomg, a hand I played WELL?!

    Villain is 16/5 over almost 200 hands -- so I was a little surprised when he flipped over his weak ass K.. but anyway, I think i played this good. I did, right?

    100bb effective stacks.

    EUPHOLOGI - Posts small blind $0.50
    WINTERHAWK7 - Posts big blind $1
    LEARNEREM - Posts $1
    *** POCKET CARDS ***
    Dealt to EUPHOLOGI [6d 6h]
    LEARNEREM - Checks
    SLOV23 - Folds
    KUGR84 - Folds
    CWBBILLY - Calls $1
    EUPHOLOGI - Calls $0.50
    WINTERHAWK7 - Checks
    *** FLOP *** [2d 6c 4d]
    EUPHOLOGI - Bets $2
    WINTERHAWK7 - Folds
    LEARNEREM - Folds
    CWBBILLY - Calls $2
    *** TURN *** [2d 6c 4d] [Kh]
    EUPHOLOGI - Checks
    CWBBILLY - Bets $3
    EUPHOLOGI - Calls $3

    I was really close to c/r'ng here but thats what I always do and it really hasnt been workin out for me. Pretty easy for villain to fold Kx here in a tiny pot. Biggest fear is letting a diamond draw in... thoughts?

    *** RIVER *** [2d 6c 4d Kh] [Kc]
    EUPHOLOGI - Checks
    CWBBILLY - Bets $12

    bingo, when villain suddenly throws a *real* bet out on the river after playing like a pussy on the previous street, he's improved 100% of the time in my experience. Now the debate is what size raise will he call? I think he calls an AI almost never.

    EUPHOLOGI - Raises $36 to $36 3x?
    <Staxalax> Honestly, #flopturnriver is the one thing that has improved my game the most.

    I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but i don't think you played this well. I raise from the SB here with only a button limper, especially from a guy who's probably going to be easy to play against.

    OOP it's harder to slowplay, because you aren't closing the action and he could very well check behind on any of these streets. This is especially not the time to slowplay.

    Flop i bet $3 instead of $2 (not a big deal). Turn i bet pot again. River i bet pot again. If you raised this pre it would've been way easier to build a pot when you hit your set.

    Sorry Eupho i just had to tell you...

    c/r'ing the river all in is sick, he might just call considering you look like you donked a pair on the flop...
