    What's the buyin?

    I think SB's bet tells you everything you need to know. You have the best hand right now, on the flop. I'd be interested to hear, but I'm guessing you guys split the pot. FWIW, I like the way you played the hand on all streets.

    I would probably have pushed the turn, although that may not be the best move. I count 13 outs to win plus a few more for a tie if you are behind, and figure the SB was on a failed steal attempt.

    10 dollar buy-in. I figured him for a small Ace, or maybe middle connectors. I made it expensive to chase that flop, but the board went sour on me.

    It ended with a split, cause the river Ace didn't come up diamonds...

    BTW... he had T6o go figure.

    I really think that's awful.

    would you care to elaborate as to why it's an awful idea to push the turn??

    1. Raise PF. You have QK and he merely completed.
    2. Push the flop. He could be raising with any pair/weak kicker: he only completed the small blind. What are you afraid of here?

    1. no argument here

    2. not afraid of anything. I'm thinking I'm ahead on this flop - it was more a question was the better move to push him off the hand for 900 chips or try to take more with the 3X raise and let him draw at a just better than 2 to 1 ?
    Ignoring what happened, I like the latter after thinking about this more...
