How should I have played this differently? How should I have played this differently?

First let me start by saying that I am no where near as advanced as a lot of you. I am just now really starting to "study" the game and track my hands.

I normally play 1/2-1/3 games locally and at the casino and do relatively well. I am sorry if I don't know all of the terms to correctly lay out the hand for you guys. I recently started playing micro stakes online to try and see lots of hands for cheap and see where I need work without costing much.

I was playing .05/.1 no limit zone poker. Hero in the sb with Ad5d, utg calls .1, utg+2 calls .1, fold to dealer and he makes it .50.

-Hero calls .45 more and all others fold
-Flop comes TdKc3d, hero checks, v checks
-Turn 6h cc
-River Kd, hero makes nut flush bets .3, v makes it 3.5, h goes all in, v shows 66 for full house.

Should I have bet the flop?
Should it been "easy" for me to see the full house with the way this hand played out?

Don't flame me too hard. lol

probably folding pre
not donking the flop
bet a lot larger on the river, that's incredibly small in relation to the pot. you want random kings to call, and they'll call a lot more than what you bet

Are you saying betting larger on the river as a long term play because most of the time I have that hand won at that point?

And can you explain "not donking the flop" please?

No idea about the donk comment, I think he must have misread your OP.

Yes, your river bet was too small because normally you're ahead. I believe the pot was something like $1.30? So you bet less than quarter pot? Why?

I also would have folded preflop tbh. You're out of position with a weak ace (albeit suited), two limpers still to act, and facing a 5xBB raise.

Sixfour got it right.

OP asked if he should have bet (aka donk in this situation) this flop and the response was "no".

Oh so he did. Guess it was me who didn't read the OP properly!

As for pre flop it's marginal. Not a huge mistake - but unless you have some really weak players at your table it's probably a fold pre. Not a huge fan of limping in SB - Maybe making it .5 ourselves. If we do we should be betting flop.

As played

Flop is a check / call
Turn is a check / call
Bet river much bigger - going to be hard to fold so I don't mind paying this off, he could go all in with worse hands.

Your river betsize is really bad. Pre might be a fold.

It's not close when the IP player 5x'ed it to isolate. Remember if people limp they are also sometimes doing it to limp 3bet so you're not even sure you get to see a flop. This is just a fold.

Fold pre. Cooler I guess as played - I'm calling river he could have smaller flushes given that he checked flop and turn, hard to put him on a boat.
