A set or flush draww I thought he would have bet bigger.
Self criticising , pre flop my raise was too low and I didn't add anything for the limper so 0.08 or 0.1 would have been better.
My main reason for posting though was the turn play.He had been playing virtually every hand so I had his range extremely wide, and when he raised my bet I have to admit it was almost an instant raise that I put in thinking that he was trying to bluff me off my hand and steal the pot. The fact that he had check raised me didn't set alarm bells off in my head which it should have done, and if i had thought about his raise more , I might then have factored in that he could possibly have made a straight.Hence my original question about whether i should have folded or called his raise on the turn.If he had the straight i was beaten and left with 4 outs on the river to beat him.
Once the cards were turned over , he had KT so that the J on the turn had made his gutshot and explained his betting .As such my full house on the turn was a lucky card ,but hopefully it has taught me to take time and really consider the options when I'm check raised in the future.
knowing what his cards were , really put the question into my mind whether i played it right and got lucky,played it badly and got lucky or whether i just messed up the turn .
Great attitude!
