Thanks 2+2ers

[cata1yst]

After taking harsh criticism on my flop play in limped pots in some of my posts. I wanted to thank you guys in making me change gears and slow down. I know a few months ago everything would have gone in on this flop, but I decided to reevaluate on turn. Don't rag on me for this line!

I dunno what you mean by "don't rag on me" but I don't really like this line. depending on the table I might check/call the flop but normally I'd checkraise in order to shut out the four players that have yet to act. as played the turn is obviously fine.

Catalyst-

Bet flop. You have a very vunerable hand that needs to be protected/value bet at these limits. Bottom-two is not a hand to get tricky with.

Though I am glad you are having success applying the advice that SSNL has to offer.

Yes, this is a definite lead at the flop here. Bottom 2 is extremely vulnerable since any 10 will totally make your hand worthless. If the turn card is higher than a 5, there will be 6 outs going into the river that can totally destroy the value of your hand.

Indeed I will be leading next time!
