I had been through a couple of orbits and was trying to establish myself as a TAG player. The villain was 25 / 5 / 1.5 . As the PF raiser, I just decided to keep firing away and actually expected the villain to fold. Anyways, here is the hand (and no I cannot get the handconverter to work).

Texas Hold'em $0.25-$0.50 NL (real money)

Seat 1: Villain ($32.50 in chips)
Seat 2: Hero [ 10S,JS ] ($24.50 in chips)
Seat 3: RichardVue ($18.00 in chips)
Seat 4: gdigger ($18.00 in chips)
Seat 5: rastaflex2 ($6.55 in chips)
Seat 6: FlackJ80 ($24.75 in chips)
Seat 7: MetalHead75 ($65.00 in chips)
Seat 8: .Brad. ($0.10 in chips)
Seat 9: mikeybonz3 ($10.20 in chips)
Seat 10: rajoa ($9.75 in chips)

ANTES/BLINDS
Hero posts blind ($0.15), RichardVue posts blind ($0.25).

PRE-FLOP
gdigger folds, rastaflex2 folds, FlackJ80 folds, MetalHead75 folds, .Brad. folds, mikeybonz3 folds, rajoa folds, Villain calls $0.25, Hero bets $1, RichardVue calls $0.90, Villain calls $0.90.

FLOP [board cards 3C,QS,4S ] pot ~ $3.50
Hero bets $2.50, RichardVue folds, Villain calls $2.50.

TURN [board cards 3C,QS,4S,5D ] pot ~ $8.50
Hero bets $3.50, Villain bets $8, Hero calls $4.50.

RIVER [board cards 3C,QS,4S,5D,KS ] pot ~ $24.50
Hero bets $12.85 and is all-in, Villain calls $12.85.

You didnt play it great, but not absolutely horrible. Preflop is fine, id just make it $1.25, the flop is fine, Id lean towards a $3 bet though, both things are fairly minimal differences though. On the turn if you are betting it has to atleast be more than 1/2 pot, so bet more there and then an easy push on the river. And if the converter doesnt work, use the FTR emoticons.

Flop bet is okay, but the turn bet is too small (less than 1/2 pot) to fold villain if that was your intent. Bet 2/3 to pot or check/raise check/call. nice river. gh villain had QK?

Renton will become famous soon enough
 villain played it even worse

if he's cursing you for making that turn call then he is an idiot because he gave you odds.

eh, im not gonna say you played it great, but you didnt go too wrong. The turn is probably a small mistake unless you stack him every time.

You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

Thanks for the responses. In retrospect, I see that the turn bet was wimpy. As for the villain, he turned over . After I flipped over my flush, he just went ballastic. He was calling me a fish, saying I didn't understand pot odds, and on and on. He was just all over it. I replied that I was the one doing the betting, understood pot odds, and more importantly the implied odds as I knew he would call a river bet if I hit.

Again, thanks to all who replied.

Exactly. Say something snarky like "Shh. I can't hear you. I'm too busy stacking my chips".
