Ok, am I making the right play? I 've only played a about a hundred hands with SHMONYA but seen him raise this amount with JJ+, and SCs; Haven't seen AK or AA yet, but have seen $3 raise with AJ. Has a Tagg style thus far. Should I have checked on the river or pushed, or was this bet a good idea to save what chips i had left to go get a happy massagey from ling ling if i lost. I'm a rookie, so any advice would help.

AP: HOLDEM NO LIMIT $1

Button - DBLACK ($162)
SB - SHMONYA ($144)
BB - SABBY ($35)
UTG - FACEBLASTER ($126.85)
MP - DUCE68 ($35.45)
CO- THE1WIZARD ($277.70)



Preflop: FACEBLASTER is UTG with [4s 4d] -
SHMONYA Posts small blind $0.50. SABBY Posts big blind $.1 FaceBlaster Calls $1. 3 Folds. SHMONYA Raises $4.50 to $5. 1 Fold. FACEBLASTER Calls $4

Flop: ($10.50) [Qd 4c 6h] (2 Players)
SHMONYA Bets $8, FACEBLASTER Raises to $16, SHMONYA Calls $8

Turn: ($42.50) [Qd 4c 6h] [3s]
SHMONYA - Checks, FACEBLASTER Bets $20, SHMONYA Calls $20

River: ($82.50) [Qd 4c 6h 3s] [3d]
SHMONYA Checks, FACEBLASTER Bets $50, SHMONYA Calls $50

Raise more on the flop, bet more on the turn, get all-in as smoothly and quickly as you can without overbetting. Raise around 3x his flop bet, that changes the hand very much.

Also, if you are a rookie, why are you playing 100NL?

100 NL is easier to me at absolute, players are more predictable than at 50 and 25.

I agree that not raising to 3x on the flop is probably the biggest problem with this hand. Though you risk him folding a certain percentage of the time with a larger raise (probably not very often, since he was willing to call a RR on a non coordinated board), like sandstorm said the turn and river bets can be sized bigger and therefore make it get yourself AI without having to overbet. Plus, a bet of $50 with only ~$30 behind looks strong, and might be tough for a hand weaker than 4-4-4 to call.

Your opponent must've had K-K or A-A. I don't think A-Q would call those turn and river bets unless they thought they had a strong read. If that is true, even with the way the hand was played you probably could've gone AI and gotten a call.
