PF raise was meant to add a little deception to my game.

Welcome to the forums.

I'd raise a little bit more preflop ($10 seems appropriate), but raising at all is fine.
Bet way way more on that flop. As played i don't mind a 3bet there. Turn is standard imo.

Thank you! I was a long time lurker!

Back to the hand, the question is:

are my bets going to be called only by a better hand? in other words, am I going to get action only when i'm far behind, like against JT?

[Scaramouche]

Why is the turn raise standard?
I call here and reevaluate on the river.
With bottom 2 on this board I want a cheep showdown.

You're never getting a cheap showdown against a hand that beats you. I play it the same

Not really, I lost to nines full. Second guessing myself I feel the turn all-in is useless: AA or KK won't call, only a set or a straight will pay to see the river. Toughts?

[Scaramouche]

I don't understand. What worse hand will call?

[pdoran10]

dont be results oriented.
This means dont let the outcome of the hand affect whether or not you think you played the hand well/will turn profit in the longrun by playing it this way.

I treat bottom 2 pair the about the same as TPTK. I can find a fold on the turn. Am I a total nit now?
