I have a couple of hands to post. sadly elephant doesn't seem to support betfair (had quite a hard time even to find my history) so i have to do it manually:

1. blind level all players have ~1500, blinds are 20/40.

HERO: [7 :heart:, 7 :club:]
8 folds
SB raises to 50
HERO calls 30
Flop [K :spade:, K :diamond:, 5 :diamond:]
SB bets 50
Jo-To calls 50
--- Dealing turn [A :diamond:]
SB checks
HERO bets 100
SB calls 100
--- Dealing river [K :heart:]
SB bets 200
HERO: ???

I don't know this opponent, therefor i think he's a fish.
I call his small bet for set mining, even if i don't hit i'm going to bet 1/2 pot to collect the dead money.

On the flop i put him on either flush draw or contibet and plan to steal it on the turn.

With the A the flush draw arrived, but as opponent can't have Ax :diamond: it becomes less probable that he hit the flush draw. I go on as planned and bet 1/2 pot, hoping for a fold.

On the turn I get a weak full house, and SB bets. he might have had a king all along, or an A. or he could be on a flush like 7 :diamond:8 :diamond:

How would you have played the hand?

I dont like the turnbet very much. The ace hits and improves his range imo and u turn your hand into a bluff. Which better hands do u expect to fold with betting the turn? Sure, some onecard flushdraws will call a turnbet, but there are already K :diamond: and A :diamond: on the board, that i dont expect he calls a lot of worse hands. I think your hand has showdown value, so i would prefer to check behind the turn. With a blank card instead of the ace on the turn, i would like the bet with the intention for a free showdown.
