id say cap yeah. although his bad trying to check raise river after 3betting (DONT DO THIS YOURSELF HAHA) looks like a flush. but so be it. id say cap turn , as played i like you just called river.

Yeah his river was messed up.
So cap the turn I hear you. ♠_grin:

Btw he ended up having like two pair 97 go figure... ♠_confused:

oh that came across my mind too the odd two pair. *dont mention what they have even after getting responses

Argh the temptation is so big...
Oh well.

i know it is ♦ But it would be much better if you just forgot the result .. like the result dont really matter all that much . the result is luck based. what we can do is doing everything we can to make us have the best chances for luck to give us the pot.

I think you played it fine

Once he bet-3-bets the turn his hand range turns into straight/flush/worse sets/"I don't know what I'm doing" hands

Although that said, if he was playing like a standard TAG exploitatively you could say he would have raised most draws on the flop so now you may very well have a cap with your top set but most TAGs generally don't donk out the turn.

If he'd have just check-raised the turn I'd advocate 3-betting for sure and then just sighing and calling down if he caps

I like the way you played it, his check/raise on the river is at least inventive so make sure you note him for it

Okay so continue as before until I get into more advanced concepts
like really differentiating my opponents.
I feel like a real newbie right now with 100 areas not covered. ♠_confused:

believe me if you dont feel it then somethings wrong because theres always something to improve on in poker.
