WPEX NL25 I am new to the table so no reads.
Hero has $31.50
SB has $39.25

Hero is in the BB with K/images/graemlins/club.gif 6/images/graemlins/diamond.gif

Folded around to the SB who limps, Hero checks

Flop

I think this is my first mistake. Should I have raised it up again?

River Pot is $13.10

I dont know this hand seems very weird. What would you have done?

Fold river.

I don't think calling the turn bet is a mistake. You have a good hand, but the board is scary.

and I'm raising this pf.

I think the turn call is all right. Or I wouldn't raise, in any case. You did that once, and Villain followed up with a pot-sized turn bet. He seems to like his hand.

I would grudgingly fold to the near-push on the river. 45 hand combos give Villain a flush, and, well, he's kind of acted like he flopped one of those.

Meanwhile, hands like AcJs and Js9c and KQ are not out of the question. I think you're mostly hoping for a worse two pair or a frustration push with the naked ace of spades.
