Make your flop raise larger. Make it ~$7.

i think thats way too big. his play and bet sizing is fine imo and the hand is standard.

[simo_8ball 0]

$7 is less than a pot sized raise.FWIW I don't particularly dislike the line taken here, but I just think $2.75 more on that flop is not getting enough value for TPTK.If you're bluff raising this flop with soething like KQ, would you still make that small raise?

your getting close to enough value you also have a player to act behind you. i would probably raise it to $5.5 i think that is close to optimum.you and ur plo pot size raise arguments

you and ur plo pot size raise arguments

You may have a point there. I was looking at it from a $50nl perspective, because standard open raise is $1.75 and standard 3-bet is $6.I just don't think anyone would ever be bluff raising to $4.5 here, and that means Hero's range is AQ, AK and sets to any thinking player*. *maybe that's where I'm going wrong.

I think a raise to $7 is probably too big, but my raise could be a bit bigger on the flop. I see what you are simo, the smaller raise really looks like for value and narrows my range, if these guys are even thinking about my range.Does the K on the turn change anything about how I would play the hand? What would I be doing if a total blank fell on the turn?

1.

Does the K on the turn change anything about how I would play the hand? What would I be doing if a total blank fell on the turn?

1. Yeah, that sounds good to me.2. It's a lot easier to fold the turn if you don't turn top two, but on the turn, it is unfoldable. If he has a set, so be it.

Standard?

Yeah. Gives me the creeps, but I call ALL DAY LONG.

Yeah guess this hand wasn't that interesting.The villains flat call on the flop scared me a bit and I was planning on checking the turn, untill the K came and gave OMGTOPTWOPAIR and I got excited. The K doesn't change things very much. It puts me ahead of AT and A3.The range I put villain on was AcXc, AT, A3, 33, TT and a small chance of a very badly played AJ/AQ/AK.He had 33. Standard.
