Preflop is stupid - limp in is better here? Flop raise is far too small. Why must I play so bad? Please berate my play.

Pf is fine(limping would be ok to given co stack size).

If your going to raise flop raise more like 20 or so or pot it even. I would often just dump it though given mp is betting into a rly short co.

I think turn and river are fine as played.

A,

the preflop raise is standard versus two limpers (any suited ace calls for a raise in that spot, imo).

i think you played the hand fine. if you are really unsure about what this guy is donking into you, folding is okay. just don't make a habit of it, as this is obviously extremely exploitable. of course, so is rasing the flop everytime someones bets into you when you were the pfr--just find tehe right balance.

Preflop I do both depending on the limpers, my image etc. Flop, I hate this raise. The board is draw heavy and his bet sizing looks like a draw wanting a cheap card. I would think that a pair hand would lead stronger, for atleast 1/2 pot. So your raise doesn't have much FE, and your hand isn't good enough to win a showdown. I just give up on flop.

I can't see raising with this hand even on the button. What flop would you need to bet out with confidence....2 clubs maybe; or A and 2 both;....
This is a drawing hand and i would just let all the limpers in so you have a $5 pot preflop assuming SB and BB both call and hope to hit a nut flush draw. .....you seldom will....but when yo do you have lots of players in with you and small bets called by many can make for a big hand.....thoughts???

pf is 100% standard, apart from CO's stack size making it maye a limp but I raise anyway and call if he shoves

postflop I would just call flop
