Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6346796, member: 305911"] I dont want to be mean but also don't want to sugar coat this either. You played this hand very badly on every post flop street imo especially flop and river. Pre flop is obvious open although I think you should open to 3x but its a penny diff in 2 NL. On the flop we get exactly what we should want. We hit a set and the other cards on the board have a good chance of connecting with our opponent as they will have Ax a lot here and also could have a flush draw or even a 1 liner straight draw. You should definitely be betting on this flop. Since the hand will connect with our opponent a lot we can bet a little larger sizing and go for value. I think anywhere from 7-10 cents is just fine since I expect a lot of calls. I get a little the thought of "well, if the board connects with them lets check to check raise" but what I dont like about that is what if villain does check behind with hands they would have called a bet with? Which is pretty much what happened here. I know villain is rarely if ever checking behind with Ax there but they could play any draw passively and then you are giving them a free turn to catch. On the turn you now bet pot but in my opinion it looks weird checking flop and then going huge when just a 7 comes out. It almost looks like your hand is face up now since villain could piece together you slow played a monster and now are afraid since two flush draws are out there. They now know to call since if they hit they will count on large implied odds. I will say going as big as you did gets more value then betting smaller since flush draws might piece together your monster here but I think betting something more like 7-8 cents is better because if they dont have a flush draw then they might think you are just stabbing at it and you will keep a wider range of hands in. The river is just plain bad by you. You are not getting called there unless villain has the flush. If you are hoping for set over set that should be near non-existent because when you bet pot on the turn with two flush draws out there, another set would have re raised you and not wanted to see a river where half the deck or so would bring in some type of flush draw. Since you did not get raised on the turn, there are no sets here and doubt villain called turn with 22. Therefore its a bet that is only getting called by a flush and you are never making any extra money with this bet but only losing money when you make this bet into a better hand. [/QUOTE]
