    No, what is he going to call you with? He will either fold or raise you and it would be tough to call a 3-bet.

    I would have raised the flop, but that may have lost you bets too.

    Looks fine to me...I think a raise on the flop costs you bets and a raise on the turn gets you in interesting decision land if he continues the bluff by making it three bets. When the second queen hits on the flop you just kind of kick yourself in the butt for not raising on it and then call down hoping he doesn't have it.

    If the board didn't have 2 to a suit I would agree with you Shade. But when the flop has 2 suited cards, I want to win it right there. If your opponent is chasing a flush, you want to make him pay for it.

    If you win the pot right there that's great too. You will be playing tens of thousands of hands this year. Big deal trips, take it now while you can. If he's chasing a flush, he's going to call no matter what.

    My 2 cents on how I'd play it.

    I agree with Kliph on this one, I don't mind winning the pot right here. And if he's drawing, he will pay you off.

    What is he going to call you with? Ace high, any pair>7 any 7(boo)
    I still don't know what I would do in this spot but he could easily have AKh KJh etc

    That is why I would bet the flop, is to get him while he were drawing, but since this is short handed, he is likely to keep up the aggression, so a raise my lose you BBs.
