Tough spot 25/50NL

[salesbeast]

I am kicking myself for folding but the flat calling had me nervous and the last bit I felt was a waste of cash...both players had been TAG showing near nut hands in big pots so my read was strength...I just wish my spidey sense didn't kick in and was wrong!

Bet more on the flop and it will really help you judge your move on the turn.

Please use a hand converter

Pre-flop is weak. I make it $3 or $3.50. Your flop bet is screaming for a raise.

Hand converters put every hand posted in a similar format with easily identifiable pot sizes and card suits on every street, and make analysis quicker and easier.

The big deal is that a lot of us spend a good deal of our free time playing, thinking about, studying and discussing poker. We like the time spent studying and discussing to be as efficient as possible, since that theoretically opens up more of that free time to be spent earning money.

Already doing it now after this post I changed...as my wife said..wtf you did something others told you to do....there is hope.

I think with your read the hand is fine. you can't expect to be ahead to often. the only problem I see is unless they are limping almost every hand, you would assume they would raise a big ace. so based on that and that everyone played rather passively I might have called getting 6-1.
