am i being too reckless?

I think had been better if you raise on the flop: there will be some worse hands that would call like Straight draws, Flush draws, Top pairs, over pairs... also you protect your hand.. On turn maybe have no sense shove because in most of cases just wiil call you a better hand, and as i said worse hands like Straight draws, Flush draws and Top pairs will not call you already... I expect you understand, i'm learning english

thanks for the input man, understand it perfectly

I agree I like a raise OTF plus it makes the x/r shove OTT much prettier than shoving 19bb into 16bb pot

find it interesting that villan bets 1/2 OTF and less than 1/3 OTT seems like it should be other way around but anyways

Definitely raise flop, hand looks fine to me though.

I agree with trent32la , you should have raised on the flop , but I would shove at once on the turn which, had many draws , not check and then raise all in and then the button would be on the difficult position to decide :deal: ,

I like how was played. By check call flop you risk some draws to hit and if he didn't have a draw, a scary card that stops the action may hit too.

BUT I think this is a good play because you are risking for a good reason:

The opponent seems to be agressive and if you check raise flop with such strong hand, you may make some bluffs to fold.

On the turn there is another flush draw on the board, if he has a K or a 9 he has an open ended (I don't think he has a hand like K9 or AK, because if he had those he would bet bigger scared by flush draws, he could have these suited hands, but there are less combos of them).

By betting so small it looks like that he has some draw and is making it cheap to hit it. Now there is a lot of draws that can call you and I think that another Qx can call you too. Now the pot is big enough to go allin and make draws to call.

I think is worth the risk. Well played. The results doesn't matter too, if he had a draw that hit, that's ok.

English is not my 1st language, I hope that there isn't many errors, and expect you to understand haha
