Losing my confidence and starting to second guess myself

[macgyverlol]

Do I still know how to play this game?

Villain is 54/16 over 50 hands and called down some pretty weak holdings but gotten lucky to double up to 200BB's. I just joined and he covers my 100BB's.

seems fine to me. Did you feel like you did something wrong?

Bet the turn harder.

This looks fine. The turn card is really ugly. Aggressive players might c/r you light after that weak bet though. If this guy's passive, then I like the $5 to charge him on baby flushes.

[Tickner]

I like it, but I usually raise more on the flop.

[A43Braun]

I'd say bet more on the turn, but otherwise, well played.

Ok, thanks guys. He ended up turning over Qs7s and despite that, I was sure I played it correctly. Just been running poorly past week or so like this and some of it was probably tilt, but it helps hearing I'm playing decently still.

I probably play it just a tad stronger all the way but river check behind is fine, especially if villain is the tricky type.

Curious? Where in the hand did you dislike your play?

For what it's worth, he butchered his hand.

Not really. If hero holds an 8 (most likely holding), then a check-raise is definately the best way to get money in. If hero holds an overpair, he's not getting much in anyway. Villain's line is strong.
