Wondering how to proceed on a board with this many draws on it. Fairly certain he is CB this flop with just about anything he opened with so a check raise isn't out of the question. I played this horribly I will advance the hand after suggestions for the flop.

I am probably leading with a bet of 220 mainly because our opponent will not be able to take a free card and the fact that betting widens our range. If we c/r he can put us on something like two overs and a flush draw or a set. However, if we lead we are representing hands like A5, A8, A4, 67, and may encourage a raise from a PP like 99+, and maybe something like AK, AQ, or AJ with a spade in their hands.

The nice part of bet/3 bet all in is most villains won't fold an over pair, they never get to take a free card, and your hand can look like a draw.

So i lead like 220 hoping to get raised.

Looking back at the hand I think raising would have been my best play also which isn't what actually happened. I'm certain I played this hand in the worst way I could have. This hand was the last before the first break and I think I would have rather busted going in with my set then come out with the stack I was left with when this was over...

Pretty sure I made mistakes on every street except preflop. I think check calling the flop is horrible not sure why I did it, and certainly if I am going to C/R the turn I probably should have shoved. I really should have check folded the river as played but instead payed off...

wow holy lord god you play bad

you managed to turn the nizzles into the non nizzles

what were you thinking

[THEOSU]

c/c is the just about as bad as check/folding.

[Rocco]

Yes, you definitely couldn't have played the hand any worse. But, welcome to 2+2. Read and post a lot here, and you'll see your game take some steps forward. Buy some books, read them and re-read them. When you've grasped the concepts and feel comfortable with your own style, sign up for PXF and watch the videos stickied atop of this forum. You'll really learn a lot by watching others play...

Not exactly but on this flop yes. The turn kills your action.

[junyor]

To answer your question, I have no idea what I was thinking. Realizing I should have played it completely differently is why I posted it here. I knew a swarm of holy god you play bad was coming but I knew that I needed to play it completely different the next time around. So next time I will lead the flop and go from there. I certainly needed to learn from the mistakes I made on this hand...

I smooth called against a PSB with a set of sixes three days ago on a 6 7 2 board. When I didn't stack off QQ by the end of the hand because the next two cards were 9 9, I almost got up and left the tournament. Because I felt like I didn't deserve to play.
