fold pre

KKarlos93

In a word no, you had position on the button and stacks were between 25-55 big blinds, so no risk of an all in after your limp, you were open ended on the flop and it played accordingly, the only critism might be a raise pre flop in an attempt to steel the blinds, i prefer being the aggressor in position pre flop, but i am not folding decent conectors pre flop

Mr_Miyagi

certainly smell fishy

DOHHHHHHH

fold or raise pre (think you need some help with the basics, - why we raise? why we call? etc etc)

Why min raise the flop? Do you want him to call? - why? Do you want him to fold? - why?

Whats the idea on the turn? Why did u bet? Why did u bet that much? What is your bet trying to achieve?

Same for the river...?

You're obviously someone who wants to try and improve their game, u post alot and seem to be enthusiastic about the game. 

I spend alot of time watching people play online poker, and talking about hands on msn/email/forums etc etc - So if you want me to try help u get better, then pm me. 

Im no beaneh, but Ive crushed the lower levels, in all 3 disciplines, MTT, SNG and cash, and with only a 30 min session on skype/msn whatever, I reckon I cud help u and make the game seem alot easier.

Just don't mention omaha!!!!!

GL.

i called pre as i was happy to see a flop cheap, if he raises then id fold. i re raised min just to get the pot that little bit bigger for if i do hit my str, again i would prob fold to another raise. turn card paired and seen the check so thought that maybe id played the hand in a way that i could represent the 9s. made my hand on river seen a check again and figured he cant of had much or he would of raised the river instead of giving me the chance to check aswel.
that was what i was thinking playing the hand.
thanks for the offer and would be great to get some more advise of you sometime soon
thanks

Can't really see what you did wrong there m8. on the button 7 8. Up and down on the flop. Post-flop you raise in position. Bet out on turn. Hit straight  on river. No aggression towards you on any street. Personally  i thought bad play post-flop by xxx by just calling the raise.

nffc4eva

only criticism really is the weak raise post-flop and bet on the turn. If xxx had re-raised on turn how much would  you value your hand
