Again don't limp pre, definitelyyyyy bet this flop, this is as good as it gets pretty much without flopping a set, we don't wanna give everyone a free card to hit half a deck's worth of overcards.

As played I'd fold turn but if you raise pre and bet the flop you might not even see this turn card.

From seeing a few of your HH you seem to always take the passive route. Eg limping/calling etc rather than taking an agressive route eg raising/3betting etc. If you take a passive route you rely on the cards to fall our way. Its very hard to have the best hand all the time but if we have taken an agressive option then we can always get our opponent to fold the best hand.

Thanks Matt it's a confidence issue I know I am to soft at times but I think it can still be put down to inexperience on saying that I still make some of the same mistakes I was making when I started but I will take it on board thanks
