Opponent is your average small stakes reg, he´s playing a bunch of tables and hasnt done anything impressive or retarded yet. My numbers may look a bit laggish to him, but other than that Ive stayed in line and theres no noteworthy history between the two of us. He checked the riv rather quickly. Like/Dislike? Comments on sizing?

i dont like betting the turn, he's probably not floating and you can't rep anything. The river saved you though. Did he think at all on the turn? Its definitely a close one you have to be sure he folds an overpair.

That's probably the worst turn card to barrel along with a deuce.

A lot of tighter regulars often just check-fold this flop without getting a piece. Because of that, I'm not a big fan of the flop raise without having any decent outs or backdoor outs. Obviously, you can represent several strong hands on this board with a raise, and that's why you can and should bluff on this board, but meh, like i said, not my favourite hand.

On the river, a multi-tabling nit will see a lot of aggression on a scary board and might find a fold, but I actually don't think you're representing a flush - most would check back the turn with a flush draw.

not sure i like the flop raise due to your severe lack of equity vs his bet call range, the river all in has some credibility due to how played prior. i'd like to know what your range for him was through all streets, i dont get what you think you're making him fold on the flop/turn.

I actually think you rep the flush more credibly if you check behind the turn and shove the river. As played its still a pretty decent card. He probably *should* find a fold with an overpair here. That doesnt mean he will though.
gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

meh ~ I find Full Tilt 50nl nitty as I've said in a couple threads tonight, but this line does look like an overpair - wouldn't he shove instead of check/call if he had AhXh? He's not playing this way with A9, is he?

I think he's probably folding anything that's not a full house, and there's plenty of overpairs in his range to balance things out. I think it's +EV, now that I think about it, and I don't believe anything less than a psb will get him to fold here.

I dunno if I could play this way myself, however. Do you mind saying what site?

1 thing I like about this particular hand for raising the flop is that you can call the flop with Ax, maybe KQ, and raise some worse. QJ is one of the better worse I guess.

Problem is that your range has some gutters on this flop as well, so I'm not sure if you want to really want to be going as low as raising medium overcards.
