After analyzing this hand, I probably should've just called and hoped he bet at it again, but I was out of position...thoughts?

 

[beechleaf]

ya i would have dragged my feet on it he was just looking for his face card

 

[S93]

I rather bet out half the pot,the C/R tends to scare people alot more.

 

[jdeliverer]

Agree with sindri_93, at lower stakes the check raise is usually folded to, I usually bet out when I make the nuts on the flop, either that or I'll smooth call once or twice depending on how scary the board is. A lot of the time you can even get them to go all in

 

[carpeamentum]

You needed to be slow-playing this hand a bit more. A call here, and probably another check on the turn. Then bet on the river. That all could change depending on cards, but I expect that is the most likely advice I would give regardless of the cards.

 

[vincemcnabb]

Yeah, I wasn't really thinking much when I was playing in this, and I would've slowplayed the flop and the turn, then somewhat look like I was stealing on the river.

 

[-newbielicious-]

i would probably slow play there because if ur in the BB then ppl expect u to have complete garbage... and the fact ur in the dime rebuy.. ppl play like garbage there so i would slow play
