http://www.poker.vg/forums/168-sick-pot-straight-flush.htmlDo you think i played it optimally? Flop raise? Turn value bet? River checkraise. I put villan on a set.

If you have villain on a set, why check-raise the river instead of betting out? Regardless, I don't like checking the river unless you have a specific read, because too often villain will check behind instead of stab at the pot.

Because a set doesnt have any showdown value?

I don't think he played the river like a set. Where's the value on the river?I think it's a lot more likely that he has a hand with the Q or something similar. The $100 on the river makes sense as a value bet with that hand. I think your play is fine; I just read the villain differently.

I bet a little bit more on the turn (120) to protect our hand and make him commit more with his sets/Ac. Definitely shove the river. Most villains arent folding the Qc/Kc here given those odds. Flop is great.
