2nd hour of 35k Guaranteed - line check

[THaC]

Almost pot-sized bets on flop and turn, river, I assumed if I bet, he'd push all-in and it'd be really tough to call, so I decided to either check-call, or check-fold if he shoves. Was this a good line or no?

this would be marginal HU, 3 way I think you have to give up after the turn. If you want to play TP this hard, raise pre flop. Your line is tempting, but he may be more likely to shove a whiffed draw, and more likely to value bet AT.

I'm ok with it without reads. Reads would help a lot.

Looks to me like US&Co has the frush draw. The only hands you are beating now are A and a kicker less than T (but not the 7 or 2), or a draw that didn't quite hit (e.g. QdKd) or air. But there is enough of a chance that you are against a hand like this that I think you have to call.

That was my line of thinking too, but I wasn't sure if it was the best way to look at it.

Want results or wait til after more people post?

You have to know how your opponents like to spend their chips. Some people just don't make big smooth calls on 4th and 5th street without better than one pair or tremendous odds. This is vital information. Sometimes it's prudent to downplay your strength to seek it cheap. I don't think you had that luxury here against a flush draw in hand.

In this spot I put one player on the flush draw, and one player on the Ax you have slaughtered. Something between A6-AT. I probably value bet the river in this spot, because A) I feel I have the best hand, and B) The board slows down a few hands that beat me.

Results:

He flips Q7d for missed flush draw but a rivered 2nd pair. So we were right Chard, but luck was against me. :P

Just seeing if you guys figured flush draw or what line you figured.
