GET A MEDIC, WE GOT A BLEEEEDER!!

Preflop, your raise is fine, as long as you know how to play postflop, which you dont. No offence. You should learn to let these hands go until you have a good idea how to play marginal hands out of position.

You should condider a fold to his raise preflop. I personally would call with with good odds but you should avoid playing OOP with speculative hands like this until you have a better understanding of OOP play.

Your flop lead is really poor because he has re-raised you preflop and so his range is relatively narrow, and has almost certainly connected with this board. You are bluffing here and you have no chance he will fold, so you are just spewing. Funnily enough you have odds to call his minraise to hit your flush, which is an error on his part.

Again on the turn you have odds to call.

So you can see that your preflop call and your flop mistake have cost you a lot of money in a pot where your villains mistakes actually compelled you to call with attractive odds. Just goes to show that a solid preflop and flop game can really help you to stop spewing on later streets.

At this limit you can probably just fold to the 3bet PF.

Your flop play is awful. If you insist on continuing w/ the hand then c/r all in instead of leading out, but you are drawing to 9 outs at most.

As played the turn call is fine but you spewed a mountain of chips to get there.

Thank you. After looking back on it myself I realized it was probably a bad call and probably even a bad raise preflop. I am indeed not very comfortable playing out of position. Leading into the flop wasn't the smartest thing to do in hindsight. After that I just kept on calling because I thought the pott odds were good and the implied odds were even better.

At the end he showed QQ.

Here's me going busted once more.

I'm going back to bed. I'm sick today and I can't seem to even make the simplest decisions.

[Afro_Love]

Should I have lead out here? I know the all-in on the turn wasn't a good move.

[AJGibson]

Both those c/r raises are ugly, generally don't check raise unless you have a good reason to.
