the fact that he was calling your bets and not reraising would signal that he is weak. so your prolly thinking he wount call 40$. I wouldnt over bet it eather

I think looking back now, you might say "man, if he called that, he prolly woulda called more" but during the hand, u didnt know this, so u should feel good that you got the extra $.

Although lately i have been going all in (overbetting pots) with mosters when i feel weakness. I figure: He feels weak, and will prolly call a dollar. However ill take a chance and hope he calls 20. When dealing with rookies, they will sometimes make rediculous calls.

[QUOTE=ChieF]If I push all in he might think I Missed flush draw and em bluffing.

SWXYCHIEFSXX - Raises $0.50 to $2 - TEKKY5 - Calls $1
*** FLOP [3h,4c,9c] ***
SWXYCHIEFSXX - Bets $3 - TEKKY5 - Calls $3
*** TURN [3h,4c,9c,10s] ***
SWXYCHIEFSXX - Bets $3 -TEKKY5 - Calls $3
*** RIVER [3h,4c,9c,10s,2s] ***
SWXYCHIEFSXX - Bets $18 - TEKKY5 - Calls $18

Well, Tekky5 may have thought you were bluffing since he called on the river but I doubt he would have thought you had missed the flush. You pre-flop raised and lead the betting all the way to SD indicating you had a made hand. I would have put you on to a possible pocket pair or top pair and Tekky5 on a flush draw or more likely a small pair off the flop - why else would he call along? Had you checked on the turn/river would have indicated a draw - to a possible flush.
That he called the river bet is kind of surprising unless he had you pegged as a bluffer/pot buyer and was gambling his small pair was enough to win but to answer your question about going all-in, I would think Tekky5 would have folded and while you didn't say so, I'm thinking he gave some serious thought before calling your $18 bet. You did well in this hand and probably better than most could have expected.
