I have several questions. Beer with me, as I haven't posted here much. Never with the BisonConverter which is very slick I should say.
1) If I was first in or only had one caller, I would have raised the AJo. I didn't here because of the two calls in front of me. Should I have raised here? How does the two prior calls affect my decision? Should I have reraised when it came back to me?
2) I tried to think through the discounted outs on the flop. I put the two overcards at 2.5 outs total plus the backdoor flush potential for a total of 4 outs. 12 to 1 from the pot seemed good enough to call. I'm not sure if I should have discounted the Ace even more since the Ad might make a flush draw for someone, but it also works toward my backdoor flush... Is my reasoning here okay?
3) I checked the turn as I felt I was on a draw... Maybe I should have bet to narrow the field. I dunno. /images/graemlins/confused.gif
4) On the river, I really wasn't sure I was beat. The better could have been trying to bluff me out due to the check on the turn. Was this a bad call? I have heard that calling on the river should be done "when the pot is big" and you are less than 90% sure you lost. Any rule of thumb on what makes a big pot? Maybe I should have folded on the river as it was only 8 BBs and the SB bet into me.
I lost BTW, SB had 76o.
Thank you for your help.
