[whereisdonny]

looks fine, i probably make slightly smaller bets to get it in by the river. you let draws play pretty well against you this way

[Idontplay6s]

I basically agree with donny. I like a 1/2 pot or less bet on the flop, so maybe he comes over the top. If youve already C-bet and won with a bet this big, then its probably fine to do it again. With the 4/5 pot bet, villain just folds his 99-QQ most of the time thinking,

"i guess he DOES have AK. MAN IM A SICK HAND READER. WOOO!!"

[polloymedio]

The reason behind the size of the flop bet was that i didnt want a flush-draw caller, so i tried not to give him 3:1 odds. Plus, if I raised this big on the flop, he could think i was defending a king so he would call with his. Nevertheless, i do agree with you about the smaller pot bet. If he was on a flush draw, odds are about 16% or so to hit it on the turn, and i would made my continuation bet for him to fold on it. I dont see how could I not bet the turn though...

Thanks to you both You have a pretty good point.
