No hands at all on my opponent. Think this is pretty standard but one of the leaks I have noticed in my game lately is calling too light on the river. How is the overall line? I know I should have bet the turn but felt I might get raised off it if he had the flush and thought I could call a river bet and get to the end for around the same price against a weaker range.

Def calling river as played, but think we are missing value by checking the turn here.

AMRN:
Don"t see much wrong there Steve. Continuing on that flop is super standard. Checking behind on the turn keeps the pot smaller than it might be and makes it much easier to make the marginal call on the river.  Suspect he shows up with the flush much of the time though.

mporter123:
Post flop - Bet, Bet, Bet is my line here.

As played, I am very happily calling the river. Villain sizing is annoying but cannot fold as there are lots of combo"s we beat.

If you are checking these sort of turns then calling down light on the river is not a leak. The leak is missing value from AQ type hands that we can merrily get 3 streets from in these spots.

TheSnapper:
Firstly, why as a studious player would you even consider playing at Zoom tables? imho, if you take the awesome game that is Texas Holdem, remove any semblence of strategy and the benefits of paying attention to your opponents tendencies, what you are left with is Zoom.

Having said that, I will make comment on how this hand played out  :P

I notice you bet exactly full pot on the flop, why? is it your default size? if you missed would you bet the same amount?

Turn check is fine, as Steve says, it leaves for a smaller river bet and simpler river decision.

When villain bets $2.50 into $1.95 on the river we are hardly ever good imo so I think its an easy fold but again, if it was poker we would have an idea whether villain had a tendency to represent the flush on the river and what his betsize meant.

You could just do an ee nee mee nee my ne mo and have a 50% chance of making the correct decision. ;D ;D ;D
