    Completely standard, but i'd raise the turn more with the flush draw out there.
    Looking for full or part time poker and betting writers. PM if interested.

      Nice play, agree that the raise should be just a little higher, although I think it looks ok as played. Why show cards afterwards tho? Free info being given away.

        yeah i was trying to raise such that i would be giving myself a nice price if it was to take it down right there and at the same time lose less if i he jams over me and i have to fold. also works nice in that the pot sized bet is left for river for more fold equity against villian (is there any merit in these to outweigh ian's and your raise more (for value i presume) suggestion.

        ..showed cards cause he timebanked down to last second and folded and so i couldnt resist. i agree tho. i should DEF not being showing but the twat inside me is hard to keep down

          Raise more OTT as already stated.

          At these stakes blocker play will rarely work as oppenents will call you down light.

            I would avoid ever trying to bluff with blockers at this level
