 My very first hand at the table. I hope my turn play wasn't bad. What do I do on the river? Blocking bet (how much); and do I call if reraised? Huge bet? Something else?


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

CO ($19.80)
Button ($99.75)
SB ($50.20)
Hero ($50)
UTG ($73.85)
MP ($148.70)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, T.
UTG calls $0.50, MP calls $0.50, 1 fold, Button calls $0.50, 1 fold, Hero checks.

Flop: ($2.25) 9, J, A (4 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets $0.5, MP calls $0.50, Button folds, Hero calls $0.50.

 ZOMG do your parents know about this?

Constructively, are we truly scared of a bd flush here?

You are probably correct. How would you play this as played?

 i don't think it's necessarily bad to check/call the flop.

on the turn, raise it more like 7 or 8.

the river... i'd bet half the pot, fold any big raise.
