    Default TPTK, flush on the turn

    Villian was running around 52/7. Lay it down or shove?
    I'm thinking I should have reraised higher on the flop.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (5 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    BB ($5.98)
    UTG ($4)
    Hero (MP) ($2.22)
    Button ($4.58)
    SB ($3.31)

    Preflop: Hero is MP with Q, A
    1 fold, Hero raises to $0.10, 2 folds, BB calls $0.08

    Flop: ($0.21) 9, Q, J (2 players)
    BB bets $0.18, Hero raises to $0.48, BB calls $0.30

    Turn: ($1.17) 8 (2 players)
    BB bets $1.32, Hero ???

    The board is WAYYY too draw heavy.... all you have is top pair and you're looking at a board with a one card straight and a possible flush. Fold and wait for a better opportunity.

    flop raise could have been a little higher but it's not too bad
    and definitely fold the turn, you're not beating very much here
    obv it's a good card to bluff at but these stakes smart bluffs just don't happen

    getting my swell on
    this is a pretty easy fold, and if you are going to raise, yes, make it much higher. you are giving him a great price on his draws.

    yup, fold and hate life. and yes, i agree your raise should have been closer to 3x his bet. ~$0.60

    Oh yeah, wow, I was focused way too much on the flush and wasn't even thinking about the straight, which makes it an easy call. I definitely did fold; I knew I was beat but I hated it. I need to stop trusting my memory when I'm reviewing my sessions with the hands right in front of me.

    I guess I should work on my re-raise sizing and slow down. I've been going too fast and realizing I'm a bit off a bit too often. (Usually doing odds for their bet, and forgetting the pot.)

    Thanks for the advice.
