I Would like to play Poker at Dusk Til Dawn because.......

as a proffessional poker player there are no venues that cater for poker only. Most poker games in the UK operate at casinos and are run by people that don't really have much knowledge about poker.

I think the friendly poker only atmosphere that will be generated by DTD will allow for enthusiasts, proffessionals, beginners to enjoy the game of poker as it was intended to be played.

There is $25 already in the pot when Byron calls $10 and raises a further $26.

Hero isn't protecting Villain's bet.

flop fold - boo ya

Did you think flop play was optimal, I think it's awful.

You spent 36 dollars protecting a 12 dollar pot with ace high on a draw heavy board. It is unlikely that he only has a naked 8 and unless you can discuss prior play at the table and your image I can't imagine giving a range of a hands a fold equity estimate.

Bet/3-bet flop all in - chances are you are ahead or way ahead (when ahead you will get max value from the hand more than likely)

Lead turn since as you checked this board. I don't see any reason at all to bet the amount you did unless you are really going to offer him the implieds on the river (2k bet / don't call 4k on a club river, this is more advanced and image-based and definitely depends a lot on the momentum of the game thus far)

Check/fold river - unlikely to be bluffed here a A high is more than likely to check behind, if you really are scared play a blocking bet, I don't know the skill level of your opponent but I can't imagine them bluff raising you here with only a small amount behind. This is a definite image-appropriate play however and can't be answered simply.

I also disagree he " got the most value from the hand ". Had he bet the flop he would have got a tonne more value. From this play I would imagine that a bluff raise is not in the players aresenal unless he perceives you to be a bad player.
