88 in the Big Blind

[SWE]

PT shows that I'm not doing to well with mid-pairs TT-66. So I decided to post this to fix my leaks.

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif. CO posts a blind of $2.
UTG calls, UTG+1 <font color="purple">(TA-A)</font> folds, UTG+2 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 <font color="purple">(TP-P)</font> calls, CO (poster) checks, Button calls, SB folds, Hero checks.

Flop: (7.50 SB) J/images/graemlins/heart.gif, T/images/graemlins/club.gif, 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(7 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">UTG bets</font>, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, TP-P calls, CO folds, Button folds, Hero calls.

Turn: (5.75 BB) 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">UTG bets</font>, MP2 folds, TP-P calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, UTG calls, TP-P calls.

River: (11.75 BB) 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG checks, <font color="CC3333">TP-P bets</font>, Hero calls, UTG folds.

Final Pot: 13.75 BB

I waited til the turn to check raise becuase I thought a turn check-raise had a better chance of getting the weak draws to fold.

Thanks

Forget about knocking out draws, try to get as much money in the pot as you can with a set. Bet the river, check-calling sucks.
