Just want your opinions on your thoughts on how I played the hand, I personally think in hindsight I could have shoved flop, or raised bigger pre flop

I'd raise flop to about 1200.

Turn looks fine.

+1 probably on a board like this I am making it 1600 - make em pay

Yes I agree I definetly think a raise on flop was the way to go it was a very straightening board and I was against what I feel was a very weak player

grantorino

raise flop

turn looks ok, reads would be helpful when he shoves 3.5xpot

I always raise the flop, turn looks fine, rivers a cooler

Have top agree with majority. I defo raise flop. After that, it plays itself. Unlucky.

debdobs_67

Yep defo raise flop

As stated already defo a cooler ul xx

Depends on your read.
Is villian loose enough to call 4x or 5x raise pre with 56o?
If not and you want action then pre is fine, then raise flop minimum pot bet.
Shoving the turn is fine to try to protect your hand, only top pair,
as he's probably drawing or he's hit a set and your already beat.
River is just unlucky.

Only read OP.

With the limp I likely make it bigger pre likely 210.

I go the other route post, its not a great flop for a limp called hand.  I bet 2/3's flop, then see what shows up.  UL tho bud
