I seem to be getting caught by a lot of these pots. Betting out what seems to be enough to price out draws but then feeling pot committed and calling and then realising I did give the implied odds to let them call.
My thinking was that a second pot sized bet would maybe scare away an Ace which I didn't want. I think I could have got away from a push if the flush draw hit there but much more difficult to get away from someone calling with the straight draw. I think I need to give some more thought to my bet sizing in places like this.
Also I think it could well have been a fold on that river. I had shown strength throughout so I think two pair is the minimum he is doing this with so probably a fold.
Queen was definitely a bad card to land. So should I have got away here or at least made it an easier decision by betting more on the turn?
Shortly afterwards while on my last hand on the table I raised UTG+1 with AK and my cbet on a Kxx wasn't called. The same guy called again with a raise from UTG with JJ and on a Txx rainbow flop he called my pot sized $3.75 c-bet. I was pushing on the river no matter what but it was another undercard and he called off his last $4.50 with just A high (A5 too).
Just $5 to the good but I'll take it after getting drawn out on again in that big hand.
I'm working on a strategy for deciding what flops I need to pot and which I can bet less on. Basically letting the board and player dictate my c-bet size rather than my hand itself.

Nice Hand!
Obviously calling you with implied odds throughout.
Re his turn decision...
He calls a $7 bet in order to win the existing $18.25 pot plus a possible $16.45 more x% of the time.
He will win 8 times and lose 38 times.
So if I called off my stack 100% of the time he hits then he stands to gain $34.70 when he hits and loses $7 the rest.
34.70 x 8 = $277.60 7 x 38 = $266
So he does have the implied odds just but given I won't call him 100% of the time I guess its fine. An extra dollar would have been better though.
