J9s early

[DavidC]

Was I too loose on the pf? Was I too timid on the river? Was I too aggressive on the flop?

Any other comments?

Preflop is a little loose for me. I usually call with this hand with several limpers from late MP or later.

Have to bet this river, if raised then call.

Agree completely with LowDown.

I'd want more limpers before I limp and you have to bet the river and call a raise.

I think the preflop call is fine. I wouldn't make the call at 2/4 or even 1/2, but .50/1 is the very definition of a loose game and Ed says to limp in early position with J9s in a loose game.

Yeah, bet the river. I might 3bet it too, but I'm not sure. Can we fear the runner-runner full house? AQ might've raised the turn.

That's a good point (I have a long ways to go in learning about reading hands).

What I was more concerned with was someone with trips on the flop.
