Opinion on this hand....
Hi all, I am a fairly new player to Poker, with mixed results over the last couple of months. I have found that the DYM's have been reasonably profitable for me, so I tend to play there.
Can I ask for your views on this hand I won, I was looking for the Flush throughout, and believed I was playing the percentages correctly. I had my oponents stack covered, so thought it was the correct play under the circumstances, however, got abuse from the losing player to the sounds of (you idiot) when he was eliminated. All constructive critisism welsome, many thanks in advance....

flop, whats your plan when you call with K hi?
turn dont lead, I prob c/c, dont mind c/r v some villains. As played its close, I prob call, but you can maybe fold in DYM idk
Turns just a mess.
Mainly as limping into a pot with Q9 with 14 BB's is just really bad in any case. Whats the goal?
Dont know why he was giving abuse though, limping with 14bb on the button with Q9off is not good. If he is a serial limper, then def ship it in pre.
What are we doing when raising? Making it 325, he calls, making the pot 700, he then has 1100 back. What are we doing on the flop if we miss with these pot and stack sizes? C'fing or making a hugely tricky half pot bet?
Simply because its a dym i set him in. Taking away all difficult decisions post, with daft pot size. Best he's likely limping with is a hand we are racing slightly behind to.
We gain every advantage when setting him in. Were in a mess on flop when we raise and he calls. Also we raise and he jams, what then?
* The check pre flop is poor
* The bet on the turn is strange as I cannmot see what you are trying to represent having checked the flop
* Also given that you are playing a DYM why put your stack at the mercy of hittg the river? having your opponent covered doesn't matter in this scenario as it is a DYM not tournament play
Also agree that the other player has played this hand poorly and deserves what he got,I would be interested to know wha you put yor opponent on when he moves all in
Shove pre, can’t raise pre v stack size OOP
As played
c/c flop is ok with 2 overs + float – is this why you lead turn ?
prefer c/c on turn or c/r, 2h is hardly a scare card so why lead ?
All a bit messy
I suppose when thinking about the hand, I would have 3x, 4x on A,J or A,Q pre flop, but as they weren't, and were suited and not what I would call premium, I guess it was a way to disguise the hand as weaker than what is was by checking pre if that makes sense... When flop was 3 lower cards, I believed that I still had a chance of either hitting one of my higher cards to then be in front, and also the chance of hitting the suit, which happened on the turn, and then, as you say, committed from then on.
I shall put it down to inexperience, and thanks for all of your comments. I would be interested to know if this is ever a fold pre-flop if someone raises pre-flop, for anyone. I have often read on posts and blogs, that in DYM's it is important to stay ultra tight, but I would have thought this hand very playable to a point...
I personally would shove pre i wouldnt raise due to stack sizes as the only decent raise you can make is 2.5x or 3x and if he shoves over are you calling? i think he is calling with most limping hands here to that raise.
I would float flop for the 1 bb as you do have the backdoor flush and two overs but i would check call turn if bet allows me to.
wouldn't be looking to fold but cetainly raise or shove pre flop - you need to control the pot size and the betting in this situation. Then adjust on each street depending if you hit or not or what your oponent is betting.
Did you cash btw?
btw...Yeah, came top 3 won £20 thanks...
I'll keep plugging away and try to improve as I go.
cheers
