    Default 2NL, extracting the most money with monster hand?

    Not too many reads on the opponent, a classic "I'm in love with my AX". Showdowned a few Ax hands.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (4 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Hero (UTG) ($1.36)
    Villain (Button) ($2.07)
    SB ($0.98)
    BB ($1.62)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with J, Q
    Hero bets $0.12, Villain calls $0.12, 2 folds

    Flop: ($0.27) 9, K, 8 (2 players)
    Hero bets $0.06, Villain raises to $0.12, Hero raises to $0.22, Villain calls $0.10

    Turn: ($0.71) 10 (2 players)
    Hero checks, Villain checks

    River: ($0.71) 6 (2 players)
    Hero bets $0.20, Villain calls $0.20

    Total pot: $1.11 | Rake: $0.05


    Should I bet more on the flop? Should I bet the turn? Betting more on the river? Because I'm most likely getting called here since he can easily have an Ace high flush.

    My flop bet is weak because I wanted him to induce a bluff on me. Was this play ok? Was my reraise ok? Should I just call him and bet on the turn?

    Why did you 3bet the flop then check the turn?

    I wanted it to look like I'm scared of the turn card.

    Guess I made a mistake, I definitely should have fired a bet on the turn.

    if he has a flush he will call anyway
    so bet turn, bet river

    like if he has an ace of spades, you can take his stack double up
    you only need to bet like 35 cents on the turn and you can shove river

    turn check was bad. Please find a doctor to cure your fancy play syndrome.

    - Keep your stack at 90bb minimum ALL THE TIME, 100bb preferably. That way the next time you hit a 6 card straight flush you can get moar value
    - 6xbb pfr? well if you're still getting callers then why not, but 4xbb is more standard and will cost you less when you miss
    - You induced a raise on the flop, gg. 3bet size isn't terrible because you're short stacked, but if you had 100bb then 3bet to $0.30ish. In fact you're so short stacked you could have flat called his flop raise, bet $0.30 on turn and still had less than pot on river (3bet is better though)
    - 1/2 pot turn for ez river shove, no spades are folding here.
    - River bet: trying to induce again? OOP on the river with the meganuts and too much behind, just shove. You'd only need 1 in 5 calls to make this more profitable than your $0.20 bet.
