posting the cards you held, helps

[gatso]

maybe it's like an annette15 thing but with post its over everyone's cards and the board too. in that case just lump it in, you've got position

[boldie]

I don't like the limp on the button.

The flop bet is fine..as is the check on the turn (though I might fire a second barrel)..no probs at all with the bet at the end..it's the only way you'll win the pot.

[Pelham Boy]

It made more sense without the cards.

this

I may play flop turn and river the same if I haven't looked at my cards but even blind the button limp is awful, even worse if you've seen what you've got

[cia260895]

It made more sense without the cards.

why?

[LeKnave]

fold pre

[bolt pp]

lol, how many boards are you going to post this hand on?

[Longy]

Pre flop

Fold>>>>>Raise >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Call.

Limping 62o is really bad, if you get raised which will happen a lot of the time if the blinds are comptent you have just chucked away 800 of your stack. It also a stinker of hand to play post flop and will lose chips on average.

[gatso]

It made more sense without the cards.

why?

because before you added the cards in people thought 'ooh, I wonder what the cards were' whereas after you put them in people thought 'wtf was he thinking?'

if you're going to open from the button with 62o (and let's not do it that often) please always raise

lol'ed hard at this.

Gatso is not wrong though.

without your reads on the guys in the blinds it is hard to determine what you planned to do in this hand.Although just looking at it without any info and that you have only a 17bb stack it seems a bit spewy  but after villian has checked 3 streets i dont blame you betting out on river.

[cia260895]

So instead of me thinking it was a good bluff it was actually shit play?

ok then fair enough

 the call on the button was with the thought of pulling off the bluff at some stage also with the option of folding should any of the other 2 players re popped the pot to my limp,
when he called my raise i did put the brakes on as i thought he might have had a piece of it,then on the river it was the size of my bet that i thought put him off as he did take a while to fold.

note to myself stay off pha i cant play or talk a good game..
