hi

i am fairly new to posting in this forum but have been playing poker for 1 and a half year now. additionally i read some books about fixed limit and started with no limit 2 months ago.

yesterday i went up in limits from nl 25 to nl 50. ok lets talk about my hand:
i had j8o in the big blind
flop: 8jj 2 flush for hearts

small blind bets 2 - ich call , 4 other players fold

turn: q hearts
he bets 4 - i raise to 7. he calls

river comes the 9
he bets 6 and i raise to 20 what got me a respond with 60 allin by him.

as i thought he can have straight and flush, too, i called.

my question is:
should i have folded or not ? or have the hand played different in any way? i could have just called the river.

my knowledge about nl comes from No Limit Hold 'em: Theory and Practice

No Limit Hold 'em: Theory and Practice von David Sklansky and pokerstrategy.com.
about some hints how to improve nl play would be nice.

i hope didnt violate to many rules about posting and thanks for your answers.

regards

Read the stickies, convert your hands.

Also don't post results. From what it sounds, though, you got caught in a massive cooler. Don't sweat it.
