Did I play this right?

[SaratogaSlim]

Lurking for a while and I just downloaded poker tracker, so I don't have any reads. I've scratched out a small profit over the last 2 years but have decided that if I am going to play I should get a little more serious about it. Did I play this right?

why c/r Turn and not straight bet it?

[maverickai]

I might fold with TJo in MP2 position. Well, you called. On the river, Pot's too big to fold for one bet. But what was your read on SB?

relative position to the flop raiser. trap the others instead of facing them with 2 bets.

Exactly why I did it. But I do think that the pf raiser would have raised anyway. Turns out he turned 2 pair, so I am even more sure that he would have. But I was trying to build a pot, and got caught on the end. Should I have tried to protect against flush draw by betting turn and hoping for a raise?

SB obviously did have the flush. Knew I was beat but pot was too big to fold

[kerowo]

I'm not sure at what level you can protect against a flush draw but it generally isn't any online level that gets posted about at the micros.

wouldn't of worked. if you bet and co raised, sb would be getting 10:2 for an easy call.

these hands, you just bet raise and pray.

[KitCloudkicker]

fold pf.

[neurotiq]

I'd fold preflop.

Postflop looks fantabulous. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
