I think I shuda just flat called on the flop and was a bit of a daft raise but I got paid off anyways luckily!!

What do we think??

P.S. up to 30k now with 31 left!!

i like the raise on the flop

for one it doesn't look like you already have a big made hand like a flush or set , also its building that pot up to the point where its tricky to fold.

with a nice blank card on the turn and your check there's always a good chance he will bluff at the pot and he did
if you didn't reraise on the flop he would only be pushing in a pot sized bet of around 4k on the turn ,and thats a bet he can get out of .once he sticks the 7k bet in he really has to call your all in so that bet on the flop probably made you an extra 8-9k

hand 1 i like as well.

with a raise who is going to be thinking you have 89,they obviously didn't
they probably have you on a strong ace/pp and you can be pretty sure none of the others are particularly strong after the betting pre flop.

if you hit your wonder flop then you should make some big money on it ,if you dont there is a decent chance you can bluff them off the pot if its checked round to you
