Here is a play I make in 25NL at pokerroom.com:

Seat 1: berxi ($16.60 in chips)
Seat 4: KingKong130 ($25 in chips)
Seat 5: Etollen ($58.35 in chips)
Seat 6: maverickai [KD,JD] ($37.85 in chips)
Seat 7: billy13420 ($11.70 in chips)
Seat 9: xgunner60 ($24.35 in chips)
Seat 10: Camilla200 ($29.45 in chips)

ANTES/BLINDS
berxi posts blind ($0.15), KingKong130 posts blind ($0.25).

PRE-FLOP
Etollen folds, maverickai bets $1, billy13420 folds, xgunner60 calls $1, Camilla200 bets $1.75, berxi folds, KingKong130 folds, maverickai calls $0.75, xgunner60 calls $0.75.

FLOP [board cards 3D,9S,9D ]
maverickai checks, xgunner60 checks, Camilla200 bets $3, maverickai calls $3, xgunner60 calls $3.

TURN [board cards 3D,9S,9D,5D ]
maverickai checks, xgunner60 checks, Camilla200 bets $4, maverickai bets $15, xgunner60 folds, Camilla200 folds.

SHOWDOWN
maverickai wins $33.15.


My question: Did I bet too much on the turn? it's very obvious that I have hit the draw, but with one more card to come, I can't afford to let him draw a full house, or have a higher flush than mine. I put him on a high pair, possibly even AA, hence part of my rational for betting almost the pot size on the turn. My dilemma is always on how much to raise, and my concern is that I don't want to give him the correct odds, but at the same time, I would like him to call.

In addition there is one more player behind me, so I dun wanna give a free card to anyone if they all check behind me when the diamond falls on the turn.

On hind sight, I think probably betting sligtly lesser, such as $10-12 would be better to 'encourage' them to call? By betting $15, that brings the pot to a total of ~$33. Camilla only needs to add $10 more, so he's facing a pot odds of 1:3. Tempting enough for a person with top pair?

Any advice gentlemen?[/b]
