Any reads on the players?

The first hand I would have bet a little more pre-flop and the river depends on your reads. If you had him on a set, I may have bet the river to rep the flush and try to steal it (depending on the player). If you think he was drawing to a flush a check in that situation is not a bad play.


The second hand, depending on reads, I may have checked the turn to feel for the straight. Although if he hit the straight, I am surprised at no re-raise on the river.

Yeah the first one's a little weird.. He seems to have taken an awful long time to call on the turn.

Of course when the flush comes up he checks, I don't think he had any choice in the matter, even if he did have the clubs (obviously with you being the aggressor, he would want you to bet in that situation to set up a reraise).

Now, based on the betting I do think it's unlikely he had the flush, pot odds were certainly not in his favour considering your strong bets. I guess there's a good chance he had an 8 and wanted to slowplay it.

All in all though I think you played it well. I doubt I would have done much different.

So how did it turn out?

First hand:

Guy had :Jc: and took home the pot.
I thought that I maybe bet to weak on the turn to give him incorrect odds to call with a flush draw, but now when I look at it again I see that my betting was storng enough. He made some awful calls and got lucky, that´s all.

Second hand, I won the pot and the other guy mucked.

I may have checked the turn to feel for the straight.

I think this is a weakness in my play: I don´t see possible straights, At least not good enough. Though I think I wouldn´t have checked even if I did since there is a lot more risk that someone has a flush with three of the same suit on board, than someone having a straight with KTQ on the board (needs AJ, and if he has one of them, checking would only give him a free river card).

Though a couple of times I have been sitting with a set or something, sure that I´ll win, and sure even when my opp´s showing his cards, sure until all the chips go to his place and I sit like a living question mark and then realize it: he had a straight.

Think I have to work on that a bit.
