Correct Fold?
 

Hi I'm new at poker and I just started playing limit holdem.

Can anyone tell me if I played this hand bad. I thought I made the right fold here but I guess i was wrong.

You played it quite terribly.

PS - Be ready for a lot of responses very quickly telling you to do things like read the FAQ and not post results.

To the hand! Why are you playing A-crap-off in the first place? Did you post? Did someone threaten to kill a loved one if you didn't? Other than that don't play it until you know what to do with it.

Raise on the flop is good but why did you not bet the blank turn?

Holy Mother of Pearl, what the hell are you doing pre-flop? Unless you have reads you don't have, don't do that again. Looking at this again I think you have the perfecta. Every decision you had to make was incorrect. Oh wait, you raised the flop so you messed up 3/4.

dear kerowo, it's 4-handed. raising a8o utg is fine. please chill out.

Re: Correct Fold?
 

supadupa--i like it okay, except i'd bet the turn. given that you checked the turn through, not showing a lot of strength, i would call the river since you've likely induced a bluff.

Re: Correct Fold?
 

Meh. Four handed. mumble, mumble, still should have bet the turn blank, mumble.

Re: Correct Fold?
 

Without a doubt, bet the turn.
