    by the way, does the way i have laid this out make sense to you when you read it? the hand histories do not work with the hand converter (i'm going to start playing another site soon when i sort a few things)

    Fold pre-flop. Check/fold turn.

    Why are you betting on the turn? river?

    When you were called on the flop they had something. Hand or draw. Why bet the river, no one will call unless you are beat. If they called on the flop and turn with a hand then they will call the river. If they had a draw then they made it on the turn (you lose more $) or missed in which case you had a winner anyway.

    Did the BB call or fold?

    We don't post results until a lot of people have replied with their thoughts. I know that saying what the BB did is not exactly showing the results, but it gives a good indication of whether he won or lost, and could lead people to be results-oriented.

    the best you could hope for is a busted diamond draw.... or maybe he held on to a small pair too long and the bet at the river might take the pot away.... but i agree with my colleagues in saying this is way too aggressive.. the $3 bet on the river is very ev- because he had to have some strong hand or draw (which he made on the turn) that would be worth check-calling or else he wouldve bet the pot himself. there is nothing you can really hope to accomplish by betting there, you shouldve just checked it down.... odds are he checked knowing you might fire at the pot, so you invite a big reraise

    i agree with everything being said so far here. you are playing a low limit table, if you get called you are beat, and the way you have to look at it is, is it worth making a bluff at a pot that more than half of the time you are going to lose, and because you made that over agressive bet, you will lose more.

    i also pretty muchly agree with everything previously stated. you have an ace high, that bet on the flop wasnt bad but you should have taken the info. he gave you with the call. my guess is he made a pair or is on a draw. i think hes got you beat but if hes gonna let you see a free card with all his checks then id take it here after all if he doesnt end up nothing(unlikely) then you know youve got him beat with the ace high.
    i also agree that with that bet on the river you open yourself up to a re-raise.
