Hi, it was freeroll which is only once a month. I'm angry. What do you think about this hand? Should I bet on the turn and try to semibluff or check and fold to his bet?

Your Pre flop raise is okay since you missed the flop I would check (If it was me ) turn Check is fine but the call is not I would have folded you just got unlucky.

I think you played right , but you didn;t hit anything. There was nothing you could do.

Ok raise preflop. you should be familiar with the basic rule of aggression preflop, cbet flop, but a board like this maybe the villains do not believe, depending on your range.
I prefer check / fold.
as played now could go allin turn, no makes sense to check and then make the call.

If you're going to call a shove on the turn, why not just shove yourself?

having not hit anything you have to give credit for the villan to have something. Fold the turn.

As in many spots in NLHE the play you make may be less important than having a logical reason for making it. That being said, the check-call all in on the turn is a not a play I can see the logic in. I may be missing a piece, however it really reminds me of a whole in my own game where I put money in the pot knowing I am behind and just don't take the time to consider the odds I would need to be getting from the pot to make the call. It is an impulse I have that I believe is based on a strange feeling of entitlement I feel knowing I was ahead pre-flop even though I know there is virtually no way I am putting my money in good now.

preflop good

C-bet on flop is fine (I tend to bet 2/3 of the pot 2/3 of the time whether I hit the flop or not. disguises my real hands)

OK...now that he's called your C-bet it's time to slow down and exercise some pot control.

Do you think this player is floating you on the flop? does that make sense? If you think so and you want to make a stand with your AK then you lead out on the turn and the only bet that it makes any sense for you to make is all in. (he'll probably fold his puny deuce).

When you check on the turn, you've essentially given up on the hand. When he puts me all in on the turn I'm putting him on a J or a Q most of the time and he's trying to protect against draws. I realize you picked up the nut flush draw but with 1 card to come are you really getting the odds to draw to that? Remember there are no implied odds when you're all in. You have to be putting him on exactly nothing to make this call and even if he has nothing, you have nothing too...so he's got outs.
