My first hand post

edited October 2012 in The Poker Clinic
So I figure that, now the winter is setting in and I'm spending more nights enjoying the warmth of central heating and comfort of my armchair, it's about time I actually tried to improve my poker a bit.

I think I'm starting to recognise two of my bigger failings/leaks and figure this is a good hand to seek some confirmation (or otherwise?) of that.

Don't think there was anything too incorrect about throwing in the p/f/r - although appreciate that position isn't great.

Following that though:

/> Is my raise on the flop too spewy?  Should I even be continuing in the hand or just c/f?
/> If the raise can be taken as acceptable, is the size ok?
/> If called - is it lazy to think a flush draw is the most likely calling hand, and therefore that I can try and barrel my opponent off that?
/> Is my check/call - given the way the hand has played to that point, a default option here?
Ta in advance for any constructive criticism.

    I prob just give up otf. Don't mind flatting if youre gonna call again on a blankish turn. I don't really like raising on that flop cos there's so many turn cards that are gonna hit his range and make it hard for you to continue. raise bigger if you though

    Just give up on the turn. the 9 hits his range so much. Mega spew betting imo. Again though, if i were to bet I'd bet bigger

    As played I kinda like the c/c. Think he'll be betting a lot of missed draws.

    B/f flop. If you check, c/f. When you raise it should be bigger

    C/f turn. If you bet make it bigger

    As played I like river
