V1 is 29/3/1.67 after 130 hands, V2 is 17/13.5/3.5 after 52 hands. I just want to know how you think I played this. As it turned out the villan had 6,7d but due to his tightness I could never have put him on this hand, I was thinking more like AQ. Do you think that:
1) I should have shoved or at least raised big on flop
2) Given that I didn't shove, I should have bet the turn?
3) Was my bet on the river too small?

I think the ironic thing is that if I had raised and we somehow got to to the river without going all in he would not have put me on the flush and would have shoved. As it is I just called, checked the turn and only came out betting when I hit my flush which looked very suspicious. If I had raised he could have put me on AQ I guess but I didn't...

Had a similar hand today btw.
I was in BB, folded round to SB who was 17/10/3. He raised to $3, I reraised to $9 with and he called. Flop came so I bet out $12.50 into an $18 pot, he reraised to $30 so I shoved for $65 more and he folded. Do you think this was acceptable? Should I maybe have raised instead of shoved, or even just flat called?

I figured he could have had nothing and was trying to represent something when the A hit but picked a bad time, but more likely was that he had a weaker A. Thoughts?

Fisherman, on that AQs hand, I think you played it very well. Most of the time when you are raised on the flop in a reraised pot villain will not fold. It also will send a message to him that he should not bluff raise you in the future.

I , for one, hate how you played it. What were you going to do if the river was the ?

All you did was call a 4BB raise out of position with AJs which is marginal.
Then you chased a flush and got lucky and hit it at the same time another guy also hit it which is pretty rare. You also didnt get full value out of a rare flush over flush spot.

I would lead flop.....or if I didnt
I might check raise flop...or if I didnt
I would lead turn....or if I didnt
I would bet the river harder.
