Villain is 9.6/4.8/2.5. He's on the button and hasn't attempted any steals so far. I'm probably on tilt and have been felted a couple of times in the past few hours (AA losing to 55 etc). I've tightened up quite a bit but I'm not playing aggressively (sympton of the tilt). What should I have done on this hand?

Nh...but do you know how suspicious your line is when you check-call flop and lead out on the turn? Just bet the flop.

Betting the 10 looks like it completed/helped a str8 draw.

I like to bet the flop here, too - lots of ppl subscribe to "first to bet wins" when the flop is paired and don't credit you for the trips, or they've got the non-paired card for 2 pair and want to keep playing for the boat.

just make sure you do this when you don't have a J some percentage of the time

What about a c/r on the Turn after a c/c on the Flop? Is that a bad play ?

yes. You want money in on the flop. The only reason you check is to raise. Otherwise, lead the flop. You want to get money in this pot.

c/r turn means your putting more money on the line when the board already is looking like another Tilt feeder. definately check raise the flop with a flop like that and even perhaps (only because of your said state of mind) c/rit and make it a bit more expensive than usual for him to drw out on you and in effect boost your anti-suckout karma. haha im nuts...

Well done for getting all in.

You might have got it in earlier (c/r flop?)

You were on tilt - you should have re-raised PF!

I don't think re-raising AJo from the SB PF is a very good idea. Seems to me you would/could get yourself in a lot of trouble doing that.

Thanks for the advice guys. A symptom of my tilt is that I sometimes try to play a little too trappy to get back as many chips as possible rather than going for a more straightforward aggressive play.

Looking back now that I'm steaming a little less I'm not 100% sure why I posted the hand. I did manage to get all my chips in (as I hoped) but I lost anyway to JT.
