Raise or fold PF.
I may raise flop, but calling is fine too.
Raise turn.
Call river.

I call. Probably a leak in my game, but I hate to reraise without the nuts.
My guess he has a smaller flush or a made str at best, but I still just call with the off chance that he have 97 or 96

this is a full table and a RB... raising PF with this is asking for trouble...

raising the turn gives away my hand... and if I just call here I've still got position on river...

you'd call on the river given that the villian only has 329 chips left in a 4k+ pot?... you wouldn't play to bust him?

well i say u cant fold the nut flush.

so i say push.

if he has teh boat or quids oh well

yeah.... just I didn't really like the classic "fake bluff" pot bet on the river... screamed I was beat...

I made the crying push and he showed...

94o...

I know we agreed to stop disguising out bad beat posts... but I'm just trying to find out why whenever I slow down my play, even a little, I get into situations like this... I don't think a slowplay has ever worked out for me...

I just need someone to help me... I can't keep running head first into made hands and I don't know how to slow down properly

Well, if raising with this hand PF is a problem, why are we playing this hand in the first place? You're only 2 off the button anyway, so whats wrong with raising? In my opinion, raise or fold. Personally, I never open limp any hands PF, but I dunno if that is right...

If we raise the turn, we are getting more money in the pot, which is what we want.
