Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6058904, member: 305911"] I think you could have got a lot more here even if the villain didnt have QQ. First, I think it is better in the long run to raise here pre. You will get called a lot by the initial raiser and create a larger pot that will allow you to bet larger on later streets. The flop is one where I dont think you should be raising. Unless villain has a pocket pair which at this moment we dont know how really strong they are since we only flatted pre, they will fold a lot to this raise unless they have 9x. The way this hand has been played up to now I dont want villain to fold and if they have some random Ax hand which I know we block but they still could have some or KQ or KJ they are just folding on the flop without spades. Here as played I would prefer just calling behind and looking at the turn to build a pot. Also we can worry a little less about the flush draw since we know villain doesnt have Ax of spades which cuts down on their two spade hands and we have the backdoor if a spade should happen to come on the turn. On the turn as played I would bet much more than you did. You raised on the flop which I disagree with but then bet smaller here on the turn then the flop raise. There are many worse one spade hands that will call half pot here and many one pair hands (like what the villain has) that will call a bet here so I would fire around half pot here. On the river as played Im fine with the sizing but I think you can go bigger. Yes there are sets that are now boats that beat you but Im not that concerned about that here. We can target K spade hands and other one spade hands like the pocket pairs villain could have that have a spade. Bet is not bad but I think you can bigger. My real qualm about how you played is the turn. That small of a bet is not getting enough for where you are in the hand. There are plenty of worse hands that can call there and the more you bet on the turn allows you to bet larger on the river as well. I know we dont have the nuts in this hand but we do have a holding that I would still be betting for value. [/QUOTE]
