First hand so table full of unknowns. I hate my turn bet in retrospect, and you'll see why...

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Button (t1500)
SB (t1500)
Hero (t1500)
UTG (t1500)
UTG+1 (t1500)
MP1 (t1500)
MP2 (t1500)
MP3 (t1500)
CO (t1500)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, 6.
UTG calls t20, 4 folds, CO calls t20, Button calls t20, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t100) Q, 6, 2 (5 players)
SB bets t60, Hero raises to t220, UTG calls t220, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds.
I made a pot size raise here for both value and information. Given that this is a donkament, a flush draw is probably calling this while a queen and any had that beats me is probably reraising (After all, top pair is da nutz). UTG just calls, so I immediately put him on a flush draw. SB folds and says, "f--- you" in chat. I lol'd.

Turn: (t600) Q (2 players)
Hero bets t250, UTG calls t250.
The most beautiful turn card in the world. I got the nut boat and a flush chaser. I want to keep him interested so I make a small bet. For some reason I forgot that flush donkeys chase against the odds. I probably could have gotten a t500 bet called here, but I didn't want him to fold. Maybe I'm the donkey on this hand.

River: (t1100) 7 (2 players)
OK, flush draw missed. What size bet can I make here and get called?

Final Pot: t1100

See why I hate my turn bet? Def lost value.

Wanna risk a check and let him bluff at it?

No real need. He isn't bluffing this river ever. I bet t500 and he folded, which is exactly what I figured he'd do. I'm 99% sure I was right and he had the FD. Too bad it didn't hit on the river. I'd have stacked him.

Not a lot you can do unless he's willing to bluff with a busted FD then, I don't think there's any amount you could have bet that he would have called with KcJc or whatever.

? You give him an awful lot of credit. Granted, I have no clue what he had, but I'd bet it's a lot worse than that. But yeah, you are right. He's not calling any bet with a busted FD. But I do think he calls with more hands than he bluffs with.

Bet 700-800, if not more.

a) he folds his FD to almost any sized bet

b) he calls almost any sized bet with any made hand

I just meant random clubs, those were the first that came to mind. is likely nearer the mark.
