FairyTales · #1 08-24-2007, 07:26 PM

First post here, i have been lurking for quite some time now, i have already read some books (GSHE, SSHE, TOP, NLHTAP, HOH vol.1 and i'm currently reading PNLHE vol.1) and i have read and learned a lot of things on the forums.

I've been playing for 4 months (started playing SNG and recently switched to full ring), and decided to take my game a step further by getting involved in the forums.

Here is a hand that is making me doubt a lot and would like to have your thoughts.

UTG is 18/4/1

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (9 handed)

SB ($9.95)
BB ($9.20)
UTG ($10.24)
UTG+1 ($6.28)
MP1 ($8.36)
MPB ($3.61)
MP3 ($6.08)
CO ($9.08)
Button ($1.42)

Preflop:
UTG calls $0.05, UTG+1 calls $0.05, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.05, 1 fold, CO calls $0.05, 2 folds, BB checks.

Flop: ($0.27) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (5 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, Hero bets $0.25, CO calls $0.25, BB folds, UTG calls $0.25, UTG+1 folds.

Turn: ($1.02) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
UTG bets $0.5, Hero raises to $1.45, CO folds, UTG calls $0.95.

River: ($3.92) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $1.86 (All-In), UTG calls $1.86.

Final Pot: $7.64

Results in white below: 
UTG has As Ts (straight, ace high).
Hero has Ks Tc (straight, king high).
Outcome: UTG wins $7.64. 

I thought calling preflop was half way decent with 2 limpers already in the pot [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]. Any advices would be really appreciated, thanks for your time [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
