Do I push more in pre-flop? I know slow playin aces is a definite no and think i definitely did that here.

How bad is my turn bet and even that, does anyone call this river?

Thanks in dvance and please tear this hand apart.

Make a real raise preflop, bet the flop, and never make 1/3 pot turn bets. Are you usually a limit player?

[Steve09797]

yeah... im trying out NL due to a couple of friends convincing me. i need desperate help huh

[Steve09797]

i didnt make a real raise preflop because i didnt want to scare him away. how much do i bet on the turn there?

Forget about this hand, your problems are deeper. Go read the FAQ, go through all the digests and important posts, and then start reading and posting in the microNL forum (the one below this one).

To answer your question though, I would raise to around 9 preflop. On the turn, 2/3 pot.

raise 4bet pre, raise flop, bet more on turn. gross river, but i probably c/c depending on river bet size. you have top set and you have 16 dollars in on the turn? you must be joking me.
