Oh my. You need to play with much more aggression. You gotta re-raise on the flop, bet out on the turn and river. Don't play scared! That's the worst thing you can do. Don't fold the river! ARGH!

Just a question, if you were going to fold the river unimproved, why'd you call the turn bet? what hand were you drawing to that warranted a call when the pot was laying you 12:1 but folding your same TP hand when it's giving you 17:1? I'd think the pot odds alone would warrant calling 1 more bet.

I might be wrong though too..

I was 50/50 on re-raising the flop. Not betting the turn was bad, yes. I had a mental lapse.

Bet out the river? Fold to a raise? I checked with the intention of calling but for some reason folded when UTG had 3 callers before me.

i messed up by not raising the turn. I had every intention of calling it down until UTG had 3 callers to his bet on the river. I think calling on the river was the right play but I made the situation tougher on myself by not raising the turn...

thanks for the responses.
