*** SHOW DOWN ***

You flop and turn plays are excellent. Such a large re-raise when there are hands beating you is questionable. I know its hard to just smooth call with a queen high flush, but now raising it so much makes you pot committed... and the .25 cent bet to the 5.25 bet (this guy must think he's playing limit, all he can do is the best the mininum) shows he has a very strong hand... weak drawing bet, then call, check/call means he's drawing...

River is a very difficult decision card.... and maybe some less aggression would equal less money, but without the large raise and two people pushing all in, you may of been able to fold then and not been so pot committed

[edudlive]

Yeah, I know the calling in EP with connectors is risky, but aside from that.

What should I have done on the river? Smooth called the minbet?

[bencathers]

Sadly yes, because then you are in position for the two guys to re-raise AI or the hell outta each other and then make your decision easier... but when pot committed its so hard to get away.

Watch out on the turn, that is a scary straight card. Gotta just smooth call that river.
