I played this pretty bad. I'm leaving the whole HH so everyone can tell me how bad I am.
What should I have done preflop? Please go through the whole hand and tell me what I should have done differently.

Pre-flop: (
6 players) Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
3 folds, Button calls t50 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t75)</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to t200</font>, BB folds, Button calls t150 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t300)</font>.
I'm raising to represent a strong hand. The BTN limp is pretty weak.
Flop: 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (
t450, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets t300</font>, Button calls t300 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t750)</font>.
So I miss, as usual. I make a cbet to try to take it down, and I don't.
Turn: 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (
t1050, 2 players)
Hero checks, Button checks.
Weakness time. Should I have just fired again? I didn't really think he was folding, but why would he check behind if he's calling my flop bet?
River: K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (
t1050, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets t400</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises to t800</font>, Hero folds.
Uncalled bets: t400 returned to Button.
I guess this is kind of a weak bet, but I wanted to try to represent a K and hope he goes away without committing myself too much to this hand.
Results:
Final pot: t1850
Moral of the hand: I suck at poker.
