My call before the flop was bad i know but only big stack and my aim in CG is to double.
I thought he had KK or AA but now i think if he had these hand, he never checks on the flop (coz two diamonds ).
So bad play ( exclude the call before the flop ) or that's poker ( and part of variance )?

welcome to the forum! Check the stickies (posts at the top of the main page) for some hand history converters so we can more easily read the hand. Also, there is a full ring forum underneath the "micro stakes" link on the left side of the page- they may be able to offer you better advice.

As for the hand, I would probably bet less on the turn and call a raise or push the river. GL at the tables.

I'd bet 5 on the flop and try to get the rest in on the turn. Also always keep min. 100bb in your stack ($25 at NL25) and don't post the results without giving people the chance to have an objective opinion about the hand.

P5's is that way --->

Don't find the hand history converter, somebody can help me ? I'm going to repost in the appropriate forum. Thanks for the advices.

dont sweat this one at all, hindsight is always 20/20 if u stay results oriented (ie i lost i should have found a fold or I won I shoulda bet more) it ll be very hard to learn this game, ditch that quickly. u have a set u want to get all the money in and theres no question esp with ur stack sizes, he could stack off with TT JJ he mite peel AK ect, id bet like 4 or 5 then try to get the rest in on the turn also
