    Default Your blocking bet does not impress me, price check

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (3 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    BB ($61.20)
    Fnord ($198.35)
    SB ($29.85)

    Preflop: Fnord is Button with K, A.
    Fnord raises to $4, 1 fold, BB calls $3.

    Flop: ($8.50) T, 3, 4 (2 players)
    BB bets $3, Fnord raises to $9, BB calls $6.

    Turn: ($26.50) 8 (2 players)
    BB checks, Fnord checks.

    River: ($26.50) K (2 players)
    BB bets $7....

    My opponent in this hand is kinda loose and likes to bet a lot. I've made him fire a second barrel once, but really haven't given him cause to think my flop raise isn't a pair. I put him on two cards when he lead into me, then when he called and checked the turn I'm thinking he caught something.

    I think the river is GIN! and I'm certainly raising here, how much? $40 behind.

    I'd just shove the river. It's only about a pot sized raise. Let him make a heroic call.

    Also, I hate your flop raise. I'd make it 12 if I decided on raising this flop.

    Meh, just a quick little pop to see if he's weak. Bets like that folding to a little pop are pretty common.

    Why? His cards are all but face up on the table.

    $20 seems alright to me.

    Make the flop $10. River is a call or a push, a push gets almost as many calls as a raise to $20 does. Higher expectation though. I think I call.

    Why do you like to make your posts all mysterious and confusing? It hurts me head.

    Your loosing, lolololololololololol
    I have a feeling this is one of those trick question deals where the villain is the hero, or whatever. I probably just call here, because I'm a big pussy.

    Your place or my place
    If youre intent on raising, 3x it to about 21. But I think i just call -- might be the LHE in me.
    <Staxalax> Honestly, #flopturnriver is the one thing that has improved my game the most.

    Just go all-in.

    It's obvious you have the best hand, and it looks like he's a dumbass given his betting and stack size.

    Fnord loves back door outs.

    What hand do people think he calls 21 with but doesn't call 40? Just shove if raising.

    I think you're ahead like 100% of the time here, and he'd have to call the small raise three times as often as he'd call the shove for the small raise to be better. Does he really fold to the shove almost always? I highly doubt it (but if so you should be shoving any two cards here). I'd definitely go all-in here.

    Results:

    I made it $10 to go because min-raising seemed ghey, anything bigger would make it very difficult to fold and he felt too weak to push. He called with 99.
