My one thought is the reraise is too small on the flop and I feel it was a mistake to not make it 150-60. Thoughts much appreciated.

You're check-raise should be a little bit more I agree if you're going to check-raise, 160-200 would be better.  I would personally prefer a bet-3 bet all in line with this hand though.    As played yeh its a call you can expect to have 14 outs a lot of the time.

Perhaps you are even leading, I got lucky this hand ;)

Easy call.

You're almost certain to be literally 50/50 to win this pot. (Pair + flush draw is evens Vs over pair.)

yeah it's a call for me every time...especially since Kauto is a bit of a mug ;)

Just wanted some reassurance really, thanks. My foray into 5/10 has been put on hold for a few more weeks thanks for that :P.

Yeh sorry about that ;)

Without reading the result (believe me or not) I would of said he has the nut flush draw. On this basis I would just call his bet on the flop, then fire out 3/4pot on the turn to a non spade (not the Q obv) and non A

You put me on a nut flush draw from a single check-bet?

Indeed, only cos it was you ;)

Seriously, a re raise all in (overbet) , on the flop usually means a big draw.

You should be pretty happy when you see his hand. (It's a better position to be in than up against AA/AK.)

You're more than 60/40 favourite to take down the pot. Just unlucky.

I'll think you'll find Wellchief and Kautostar have more in common than you think!!

(one for you racing fans out there)

yep..and the word Mug comes to mind again ;)
