Default Re: Butchering 52s

Thanks for your replies.

JJ (button) actually called two on the turn and Sam (BB) just called. I didn't really have enough time to realize the trouble I was in because the river came a 2. Sam checked I bet, JJ folded, Sam kissed his chips goodbye before throwing them in.

When I turned over my 52s for the full house, JJ glared at me a bit and Sam just laughed. Sam changed seats to sit to JJ's right and for the next half hour or so they were laughing and pointing at me. Every now and again I could hear a snippet like "... raised on the turn with the worst hand...". Turns out JJ was on a flush draw (AK spades probably) and Sam had called the raise from the BB with J6 and flopped two pair.

I wanted opinions to see if my turn raise was completely spastic or decent. The comments about playing hands like that from EP were extremely helpful as well (I will be reining myself in) and I realize that even in very loose games, playing 52s from EP is an "Extreme Gamble"...
