You're not playing a straight draw here. You're playing top pair with a decent kicker. You need to be betting all the way. Get a copy of Lee Jones' "Winning Low-Limit Hold 'Em" or some other book that introduces you to poker basics. Read it, then hit the tables. Good luck! /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

bet the flop, bet the turn and call a raise if there is one. if no raise, bet the river, if there was a raise, then check/call the river.

Sorry, I mucked up the subject. I fixed it now. I've been reading/rereading WLLH, but I don't really have enough experience to apply it correctly yet. Or enough practice calculating odds.

[FishHooks]

yea please bet this hand on flop and turn.

[JoeBoo]

Bet the flop and turn, if raised on the turn, check/call the river.

Go to page 72 of WLLH, your kicker is pretty good. You don't need to calculate odds. You need to get overcards to fold by making it incoorect for them to call. What if the turn were an A, K or Q? You don't want to let Kx see the turn for free do you? You've probably got the best hand here. Bet. Keep betting it. Don't stop betting until you are raised, then check/call.

I need to know, did you think you were behind on the flop?

Nope! There was no action preflop, I assumed I was ahead with a pair of jacks.

When the A fell on the turn, I still thought I was ahead.

Thank you for the page reference, gonna read that right now.

Oh my gosh, Sorry. Got confused, wrong hand.
Yes, I thought I was ahead. In retrospect, I realize I should have bet the flop.
