Pre-flop: (10 players) Hero is MP2 with
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 folds, MP1 calls, Hero raises to $1.2, 2 folds, Button calls, 2 folds, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls.

Hoped for a reraise here so I could potentially get more chips in $1.20 is my standard raise at this level and wanted a few callers and a nice flop.

Flop: ($5.15, 4 players)
UTG+1 checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets $5, Button folds, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls.

Not a bad flop unless someone has JJ,99 Or even J9, I hope someone has 2 clubs so I can get money into this pot.

Turn: ($20.15, 3 players)
UTG+1 checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets $5, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls.

Had to lead out here aswell even though im fearing trip 9s although now it looks likely they might call with 2 spades on the board

River: ($35.15, 3 players)
MP1 checks, Hero checks.

Should of bet this river... even if it was a small amount

Results:
Final pot: $35.15

Why push? The only hands that'll call you that you can beat are KJ, QJ, and JT. And that if they're retards. Queens or Kins would've pounced on the flop. Tens would've folded by now along with naked and painted Aces. I like the check.

I would've bet $10 on the turn, though.

That when the time the turn came, I would know my hand is ahead. And that the only hand that has me beat is JJ.

This is how I would have played this hand deepstacked:
PF - $3-4 raise.
Flop - Potsize bet.
Turn - If flop ps bet is called, push turn.

unless u got the uncanny ability to detect sets whenever people flop them on you. then you should be playing AA this way as well imo.

I suppose until I get used to bigger pots like these itll be harder for me to raise/bet accordingly although I am working on it.

Raise as much as you believe you can get called for by at least one or two people. I always feel the table out and see what people are calling for.

Maybe, I'm personalizing this a bit too much, but I have a set, I'll play similarly to Villian to pounce on the river, especially if the turn fills me up. It induces a ton of moderate bets to pounce on and the player can't lay down their hand.

No one's gonna bet or raise that turn unless the 9 was meaningless. Maybe I'm overestimating Villian's playing ability.

good raise pf. if everyone folded ppl say "ahh raise less". everyone calls ppla say "ah raise more" 1.25 = middle. good. if table is loose, maybe 1.50 is middle.

flop = fairly bad board. but they check so you should bet. dont bet 5$ however. bet 4$. simple= pot control. these comunity pots can get real big on the turn and river

turn. im prettymuch checking this 80% of the time. yeah that means im giving all the draws a free card. why i check;

flop = two calls,
turn = fairly bad card.
pot is very big,
and i have no idea "where im @"

betting 1/4 pot like that is...?? what is that? defence bet to give free river?

river, most ppl who slowplay will lead river. some ppl who miss draw will bet river. the pot is HUgE. maybe no one wants to bluff. however im sure a nice hand would wanna lead out river to make sure it gets some action. but no. they just check.... again. this may lead me to believe i am holding the best hand.

i really dont know if id bet river. small bet could potentually induce check raise. while big bet may induce a fold (resulting in winning). I check. Im a pussy cheking turn and river.
However. if the pot is smaller, i will bet river.
