nl10$ terrible misplay..

[Tamynese]

I wanted to check raise the turn but it didn't work out. Should I have played more aggressively on the flop?

Yea, you really need to get money into this pot. Raise preflop, and bet out or check raise the flop. With so many people in the flop c/r is probably better. And definitely bet out the turn.

why?

[Colm]

the unl faq seems to advoctate raising from every position with all pocket pairs.

i just bet the flop, unless i am very certain the button will bet, but he didn't raise pf and there are a lot of hands that call so i just bet and bet at least 2/3 pot on turn, you need to bet to build the pot.

as played i just call river as well, but there are plenty of hands that you beat that could call at this level, so i don't know how to evaluate the risk of the lone j and raising.

PF is a raise, bet the flop, bet the turn, be aggressive, they'll call with crap I promise.

Small pocket pairs should be played as cheap as possible. Raising here diminishes their value because in case of a pot sized reraise, I would be forced to fold given the stack sizes.

It was a full table...

You asked us for our opinions and we gave them to you. If you don't like them, fine, you can play however you want. It is the damn near unanimous opinion of this forum that you should raise here. I know it would be better if everyone were 100+ BBs deep, but it's still a sound play. People have the tendency at this level to call PF raises with all kinds of garbage. Much more likely than a reraise is 3 callers, then when you flop a set you're almost guaranteed some substantial action from someone who hit something like top pair. If there's several maniacs at the table who raise almost every hand, then I like limp/call better. Most general rules in poker are subject to change depending on specific tables and opponents. What you want here is someone to put in normal raise and as many callers as possible. If the pot is 3 BBs going to the flop it's just about impossible to stack someone without doing things that make even the worst players suspicious.
