so I know PF is terrible. the table was folding to most raises of this size though and I thought I had a good skill advantage in my post flop play. villain is fairly new to the table, but in a previous hand, I had seen him float-call a cbet.

is my flop sizing terrible? all thoughts appreciated.

flop bet is way too big

open is ok if table is letting u do it. Bet about 1/2 as much as u did otf.

Preflop is good stuff. Flop bet is too big though....bet 30000-40000.

thanks guys. plan was to get it in on the turn with a blank though since I didn't really give him credit for anything. that was a mistake though. ul gg (sigh) keep grinding for that elusive MTT FT.

preflop is whatever.

flop bet is too big.

turn seems ok as played. he should not have a better hand here too often. maybe TT, hardly ever A9 on this table.

I thought it was a great play from him, though, flatting PF with JJ. dangerous, but good considering how the table was playing. So you think around 30 to 35k he flats again or raises that? 60k he can obviously flat since it looks like I'm committing myself. what would you guys do if he raised the 30 to 35k?

I think pf is pretty bad with k9o...

I don't mind flopsizing tbh. If he bets 35k then the pot is going to be 150 on the turn and villain will have 220 left. Makes for really weird turn decisions on blanks like the 4o.

I quite like the big bet to set up the turn shove, and would be interested to hear what those that say bet 30-35 do on this specific turn...?

bump for further strat advice.
