I think I missed a bet on the river.

Flop is pretty spewy. You have a 1 card gutshot and bottom pair on the flop, not enough equity to be pumping. Turn check and hope for a free card. Bet the river.

Re: Q8o - 0.50/1.00 Stars - Standard?
 

don't raise the flop. you have nothing.

when you finally make your hand, betting out is definitely better than checking it down.

two things of note:

1) you spew on the flop
2) you are scared to bet the river, i guess because you dont know what to do when you are raised

good thing is, both of these things are easily fixable. nov session reviews!

Re: Q8o - 0.50/1.00 Stars - Standard?
 

When you evaluate that flop, you should realize immediately that your Q outs are fairly dirty and that you won't be able to handle a bunch of action if one should come. That's part of the reason why the flop c/r is so bad; you don't even have your normal number of safe outs on this board.

This isn't being results-oriented knowing that you did in fact catch a Q on the river and were unable to muster the courage to make a routine value-bet. You should have realized that a Q would be a problematic card from the very beginning.

Re: Q8o - 0.50/1.00 Stars - Standard?
 

You should be pumping this pot.

1.5 outs for a bdfd, 2 outs for another 8, 3 outs for a Q but it is discounted to 1 out for obvious reasons, and 4 outs fro the gutshot (its a full four because we hold the Qh, if the 9h comes we have a decent redraw).

Thats makes 8 outs giving us equity. So yeah explain please why I shouldn't pump this pot?
