i dont mind the river re-raise if you had some specific reads to go by, i wouldn"t be averse to raising atc from the bb if the sb limps in pre either...

tbh i"m more intrigued as to why you re-raised river given villains line of play and the board texture, had you any history with villain, seen any previous hands played by him, what sort of ranges was you putting him on, was you even putting him on a range? :)
in a nutshell i"m asking what was your thought process pre-flop and post-flop street by street...

Fatcatstu:
Ok.

Pre Flop - Had been fairly active against villain for last few orbits, 4 betting and taking him off hands, which he had made a point of saying he was fed up of, i didnt really like raising with this hand and leaving myself open to folding if/when he re raised, so i thought the check was ok.

flop - hit my draw, but nothign else to get excited about, have seen villain fold if not hit anything in past, so thought 700 should do the trick (is this bet sizing ok?)

turn - Hit what i thought was gin card, but didnt want to check back the turn to let a bigger diamond get there, 1000 was more of a valuey type bet, hoping that the diamonds miss the river and can then make another decent sized value bet.

river - he bets into me, which i would expect him to do with a few busted draws, or a pair/2pair/similar combos. Now i look back at it, i should have flatted, and even if i am raising i am not too sure that i haven"t made it too much.

have to dash out, so will post more info on my thoughts (dark dark place you are venturing here!) when i get back!

PantsMan:
Not sure what you"re trying to achieve by raising the river? The only point in re-raising is getting him to call with a worse hand, but what could he have that he"d call with that you beat?

You say "he bets into me, which i would expect him to do with a few busted draws, or a pair/2pair/similar combos".

If he has any of those hands then re-raising will simply cause him to fold so there"s no point as you"re not going to win any more. Unless he has 2-3 of diamonds chances are he"s not folding a smaller flush. He"s calling with a bigger flush and if he"s hit a full house then he"s shoving. Therefore flat call and hope for the best!

Checking the turn 0% of the time. Someone tell me why this is good
