 Too late. I got my KK and AA sets cracked two nights ago by a flushes. and neither on the river by the way. coulda used the help then though. same thing not betting hard enough I think after the flop I think, for me anyway.

 you we're doomed in this hand anyway. He had oesfd. Results oriented, I know.

Whats the problem with checking to the raiser on the flop? What will call you if you bet? Ace-case Jack?

It seems like the only blaring mistakes are you shouldn't have value bet the river when no hand that you beat calls, and you mighta shoulda 3 bet preflop since you would be oop after the flop, and would like to end the hand quick, or at least establish control of the hand.

do NOT push the turn! you make it way too easy to pay villain off and to not get yourself paid off. try to get a cheap look at the river and hope to fill up. don't go broke here.

I think it is better to push the turn than to make that river play. If you are going to put it all in on a blank on the river, you might as well get it in on the turn.
