I think I should have check raised the flop

I think I should have check raised the flop

Why check the flop at all?

[theDEEPdish]

I had a brain fart when I didn't raise but i thought c/r was the way to get the most value out of the hand

[theDEEPdish]

But I am really wondering what people think of the river call coments on that would be appreciated

[Galapogos]

If you're gonna call the all-in when you're not sure you have him beat, why not make the first move and be the one who pushes? At least then he has to make a decision.

I lead this flop, what would you be trying to accomplish with a check-raise there? You check/called the flop and then lead a random turn and then check/called a push on the river, this line is really random, or atleast it seems like it to me. Why check/call the flop and lead that turn? Why lead that turn and then check the river? You were the aggressor preflop, Id want to continue that postflop by being the one making the bets, not calling them.

What are your reads on this opponent? That would help us narrow down his range. Against an unknown Id much rather take a more deliberate line, as played it would be a tough fold on the river, he obviously likes his hand, but because your line let him do the betting you arent really sure how strong his hand is.

opp was solid but bad I led on the turn because I thought he was on a draw a check/called the river to induce a bet from a draw
