I think this hand will show I have no idea what I'm doing at times, either that or there's just several ways to play this hand.

The table in general (especially those left to act) limped a lot and called a lot of c-bets, I tend to be tighter with my preflop raises at these tables and limp a little more.

Preflop - very limpy table, thought it was probably to be a multiway pot and small chance anyone raises, most of the guys behind me seldom folded to a c-bet

Flop - It's just me and blinds so I try to take it down, given the tendency to call most c-bets I probably could of checked here, though ace flops seem to get more folds.

Turn.
I'm torn on building a pot with a strong draw, possible winning the pot uncontested, and checking behind and taking a free card and avoid a possible c/r.


River - I have no idea what this idiot is doing, evidently he's really a genius and saw into my soul that I have nothing, and is just teasing me with this weak lead.

I'm so tempted to pop this river.
