hi ,

Party poker , 200NL, short table (6 handed )

I am on the button and dealt 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
2 people call my 15$ rais.

flop comes: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I bet 10 and get two calls. I think flush draw and str8 draw are possible.

turn card is 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I bet 20 and 2 callers.

river is low club card.

I bet 60 , and guy after me rais it all in for 400$ which i do have on the table ....

advise ?

Wtf

You bet 15$ preflop in a 1/2 game with 55? Both call, then bet 10$ into a 45$ pot? And bet 20$ into a 75$ pot.

not only that, but why are you first to act every hand?

your bet sizing is horrendous. and call.

I raised the 15 cause it looked like a family pot and i wanted people out of the hand.

had i raised 6 it would not do that effect.

3 people folded due to that.

for the later bets, maybe instead of saying what was wrong you should say what is a better play ?

i am new to NL poker , and i understand my bet size is problematic. can someone explain why ?

was it to small ? to big ?

I called and lost to 999-44

First off, saying it was a limped pot and you raised on the button would change a lot.

It would inflate the pot much more than I thought it was.
Say they checked to you and you bet.

And pot every street.

you want to say that my bets were to small to pot size ?
and i should have bet the pot size every street even when i think they would fold to this bet ?

shouldn't i try to extract more $$ ?

Yeah bet more. You don't always have to bet pot. With a hand like this half pot and 3/4ths pot can be good bets too.

Also, you can't fold this. They'll have a flush way too many times...you can never lay down 55 in this spot.
