Hi, and a belated welcome to FTR.

Regarding your HH: I find this unreadable and if I could read it, I wouldn't be able to make much sense of it anyways (card suits are not shown which can be important).

Please clean up your HHs before posting.

That last hand you have to raise the turn, you have the (current) nuts and there has been action before you. The board looks like it might have hit someone quite hard, maybe 2 pair or a set but you could still get drawn out to a flush or full house. Building the pot will enable you to stack someone on a blank river and cut down their drawing odds.

[bencathers]

All in or big raise on the turn. Take the people with the set/two pair on a wild ride. If the flush draw guy is going to play that aggressively, he'll probably call an all-in and in the long run (not this hand) that is what you want.

Call the river

[q8moh87]

I think i'm greedy sometimes i call the turn in hope that i would raise the river much more and get more money .... i always do that and lose (not 100% always but sometimes when i want the pot to be bigger lol

[bencathers]

Its a fine strategy to try to extract more money from the river, but you need to remember, what may be the nuts on the turn may not be the nuts on the river. If you get too married to your hand when you are not ahead (IE, holding a straight and there's a flush on the board or the board paired) this mindset might get you stuck and losing a lot more.

Be aware on all streets. BE AGGRESSIVE when you have the nuts and not to ever get married to a hand that can be beat.

Like today, I flopped the nut flush after there was some heavy pre-flop action. With a nice pot on the flop, I knew people would be betting to take it away. I was salivating as I was watching everyone do the betting for me while I held the nuts. Then on the turn, the betting slow down but I bet moderate, hoping to keep people in the hand and extract as much value as possible. Then, on the river, I saw an ALL in and a call. Too excited to be slamming the call button on my mouse, I put myself all in and the person who smooth called the other guys AI called mine... and before I realized it, I didn't notice the board paired and I was beat by two full houses (ouch!)

I could of pushed these guys off their hands on the turn (and then showed the nut flush and got a nice, tight table image) and taken down a nice pot. Instead, I had to reload and build up, all because I wanted to get as much value as humanly possible.

Watch out for that mindset when playing and you'll be a long term winner
