Does he have a king? At first I thought his check-call suggests he probably does, now I've had time to look at it I'm thinking may be hes got a queen as well?????

In a vacuum, this is a call. You pot-controlled well, and now you snap off bluffs and bad bad value bets.

What DC said. I assume you kept the pot small so that you can call the river bet? I am calling this all day anyway. Yeah some of the time you will run into a K but other times you will run into an under pair or a busted straight draw.

snap

dont be afraid of checking this flop once in a while

I agree with the comments so far, but, personally, I would bet more or check this flop. You cbet 3BB into a 6.5BB pot. With a 3BB open I typically cbet 4-5BB on a flop like this to increase fold equity. I like the check behind on the turn for pot control and I snapcall this river and expect to win ~50% of the time.

call, He think you do't have something, maybe he bluff

[MrDarling]

if you going to be this flop, bet bigger. You are basically telegraphing that you have a weak made hand or some kind of a draw.

There is two line I usually take here.
Bet flop+turn check river.
Or check flop bet turn+river.

It really depends how likely are my opponent to c/r with a draw/air type of hand.

Jimmer, I'm really confuse about you, you claim to be watching the tables for a long while before you seat and play, yet you never have any info on the players in the hand.
By now you should know that the same hands play differently against different opponent. So analysing hands in vacuum is really only ok when you struggle with basic ABC first level poker.

Once you grasp that, maybe you'll be able to post those HH in the right place on this forum....

/just kidding obviously/

Good point.

I think you raised this point quite recently-the way I write my posts have changed since.

Previously, every time I was unsure on a hand, I copy and pasted the HH to a separate word doc. At the end of the session I would analyse all the hands. If I am unsure on the best position to take, I then post the hands on this forum. By this time, I have usually left the table and therefore lost access to reviewing my notes on the players. The other key issue is based around the fact that over the last few months, due to work comittments I have only had an hour here-and-there to play. Therefore I usally find a table and get on with it.

Since you raised the issue last time, whenever I transfer HH from PS to a word doc to analyse, I now try and cut and paste my notes on the player as well.

My poker has fallen apart recently for many reasons. Lack of time to play and lack player notes are just a few of the reasons why.

Nice observation Mr D.
