i feel like i should've defenitely made more money for this hand... any feed back?..

Don't minraise the turn, give them a real reraise...minraises are so worthless. Don't check the river, ever.

Why do you think your opps are "supposed" to bet the river?

Judging by the betting, your opponents are drawing. Make them pay to chase; you can get more milage out of the turn.

Don't check the river. If your opponents are drawing they've missed whatever they were drawing to. Worst that happens is that they fold; you don't have to show down unless you really want to show your quad-six love pack. If they raise, you know what to do...

There is also a side point to be made: your opponents are drawing! What would you have done if a third spade came on the river? Getting money out of drawing opponents is fine but don't forget that your set on this board is by no means invincible.

Raise the flop after you check and they bet.

Raise the turn HARDER

Bet the river. What are you doing checking here? You already check-raised once; do you really think you'll be able to do it twice.

And unless this was some sort of wierd limit game (which doesn't belong in this forum), I don't know why you bet so little when you did bet. You're not destroying odds for anyone; in fact, you're giving them great odds to go ahead and chase and then destack you if they hit.

how much do you think the raise should have been on the flop or on the turn?..

Raise the flop to 3$

Lead out on the turn 6-7$

Never check the river with the nuts without an astounding read.

when you are first to act on the river and you showed strength on the turn you cant expect they are just going to bet, you have to bet here unless you have seen them bluff on the river when they miss a lot.

u know how u can make a lot of money....buying jalopies and reselling them to suckers.

What would you lead out with on the river in this case? Value bet? $12?
