Hi,
I seem to often get caught when my opponent has hit his flush... let me give you an example:
I am big blind, I have a very average hand but it is folded to me excepted for one limper... I raise with say Q9o...
I hit my 9, top pair, on the flop and there are 2 diamonds on the board, I am 1st to act, so I bet the pot... opponent calls, turn comes J, no diamond... I bet 3/4 pot on the turn... unlikely that my opponent called with a J, river comes low diamond... im to act 1st, should I check? which could let my opponent bluff that he has the flush? what i did was bet about 1/4 pot... my opponent min raised me... I had to call for value...
Should i have folded? what are strategies that one could use when not sure if opponent has a flush or not...
I would greatly appreciate help with this...
I know i played this hand badly... is it just a disipline thing, or have i done something else seriously wrong?
Thanks
