Yeah it's fine... I would bet more on the flop, then weak bet the turn, but you got all the money in so it is fine.

[Jaswarbrick]

Thanks Ranma. Do i raise this preflop like i did above for 4xBB + 1BB per limper, or do i just check this and hope for a set? I thought what was effectively three limpers with the small blind completing, to raise to 7xBB, or to check. Which is better option here? Because i probably have best hand preflop.

Hey Jas, looks pretty well played imo. Maybe a raise to 20c or so on the flop though, in order to build the pot and get the money in more easily in later streets - though in this case he is shortstacked so it doesn't really matter as much.

As for the preflop raise, it depends on the table. At microstakes you will often get 2 or 3 of these limpers calling the additional raise, but it looks like your table was tight enough to make it a good raise.

Tough luck if you got coolered by 56 or some terribly played pocket Jacks. Btw guess who? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Oh my god Roger?!

[Nemesis69]

Bet 0.2 on the flop. The rest is fine imo. Nh, sir.

[matt85]

Bet c..25 on flop but other than that it looks ok.

[Jaswarbrick]

The reason i bet 14 cents is because he had $1.28 left and i wanted to bet 1/9th of his remaining stack on the flop, and then go for 1/3rd of his remaining stack on the turn. Is this ok, or just go for a standard, continuation sized bet?

Against players this bad I would just call preflop and setmine.
