beautiful spot... now what?

First I should mention that I'm still new to 25, so the bet sizes still seem very large to me. Anyway, this guy seemed pretty loose, and we're both deep stacked, so I was drooling over this hand.

Raise turn to 12, shove river imo.

i did shove the river, raising to 12 would be most of hist stack.

I think you played it fine. Villain probably had jack shit.

You didn't shove the river, you still had money left over.

You raise turn for value, because he's probably going to continue with almost his entire range unless he's bluffing here. You couldn't shove your whole stack on the river because it would have been too big of a reraise. By betting the turn, you can comfortably shove the river.

Although his line makes it look like JJ or TT not ready to give up on the turn, so if you figured that your line would be fine in terms of max value.

well, unless i miscalculated, i bet the river equal to his remaining stack, which was a little less than mine. But yeah, probably nothing i can do here.

Yeah, 1 + 4.25 + 4 + 18.50 = 27.25, his stack is 33.90

MINRAIASE TURN LOL

MINRAISE TURN YES

raise preflop

haha its funny, i actually really don't mind a turn minraise at all

that said, i agree w/ travis. he probably had nothing hahaha

I advocate that you raise the turn. There are a lot more hands he can talk himself into calling with (POT AWDZ!) before the board is complete.

I prefer raising the flop, but if you call flop your line looks fine (call turn/shove any river obv).

The word beautiful associated with poker sounds terrible not to mention a little gay. That said, minraise turn is super delicious and makes for a stupendous river shove. Hooray

Dont limp 88 in MP(lol)

Other than that I like your line, just ship everything in on the river.

BUUUUUUUUUUUURN

I was advocating the use of "big" adjectives in the most sarcastic of ways.
P.s. I also enjoy stabbing minraisers
