Well, I got another hand a couple of minutes ago and like to hear your thoughts on it. It was about the 5th hand I got at this table, so not much information was availible, but lots of limping happened. Even saw one guy limp in with AA.

Comments on all streets are, as usual /images/graemlins/wink.gif, welcome.

The only things I might say in advance on my play:

1. I might have raised here PF, but with all that limping and "interesting" starting hands in this limit combined with position, I tend to try limping more myselfe and see the flop cheap (maybe call the usual minraise comming from time to time).

2. I would have put him AI on the river myselfe, but my hands were faster than my brain, this time. Maybe a leak I have to fix in these situations.

you need to be much more aggressive

dont open limp, raise this, bet more on flop (never min-raise)

bet a bit more on turn and what are you trying to do with that river bet? Far too weak c/c river.

EDIT: realised your flop bet is a massive overbet, why so much? psb is fine here

Raise pf, lead out more on flop, but as played re-raise the flop hard (maybe all-in pricing out the fd)

Re-raise the flop? How would I do that when my bet is just called?

That's usualy what I am saying myselfe, but the reality at the tables sometimes ... well ... put me back, like I tried to explain in my OP.

c/c river sounds interesting. As I said, I would even put that guy AI. Whats the purpose of your play? Luring chips into the pot?

Well, the primary goal was to chase out a drawing hand right here and it seems to me, that the guys at this limit will not get away with a 0.08$ bet most of the time. Actually this gives me headache sometimes. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

You see I am still at the very beginning and need to learn a lot for sure, that might explain the one or the other strange view/idea. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

thought so, just wanted to be sure you did not mean doing something completly different like c/r and I misunderstood.
