Yep I think you whould have raised preflop. Might be ok to do occasionaly to mix up your play though, I'm not sure how important that is against most 50NL players.

In the end though it doesn't matter your getting stacked either way (unless your Jamie Gold and talk your way out of it)

haha, that hand was unbelievable.

I'd 97% Raise preflop, but had a load of hands against villain and thought I should mix it up.

Re: a break from the norm
 

please dont post results. it will get u much better feed back on the hand,

but why did u not cbet the flop?? do u want Ax hands to be able to check behind on this flop and b able to draw to their 2 or 3 outer for free.

slow playing one pair hands is almost ALWAYS a bad plan. bet the flop and then work from their please. there r nearly 0 hands that will catch up on the turn to 2nd best hands that u will stack so bet the flop and hope he has TT and i swilling to get all in on the flop with a medium overpair
