Yeah...did you just play 59, and were the first limper? I can maybe understand if there were a lot of limpers and you were the button. I think I would take the free card on the turn instead of betting since they already checked or I think you have to bet more if you really think you can take it down there. I really just dont like playing hands like this. Is there any hand you wouldnt have played there and why not?

I usually play very tight from all positions and I figured just for once I would limp and take a flop with a random hand. Turns out that it just happened to give me the kind of draw I was hoping for. I realize 95s is a terrible hand but given the table dynamic I figured I could limp and see a cheap flop. Comments on river play? Should I have raised? Been wary of a higher flush?

I think the call on the river was smart because he could have easily had a higher flush and with a bet that large I would stick with the call. That move I liked /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Another quick question. When is it appropriate to utilize the "Delayed bluff" where you call with nothing on the flop with the intent of stealing on the turn? I thought I had a pretty good read on his bet below and figured I would give it a shot.

No matter what card hit on the turn I was going to bet it anyway. Thoughts?

Table dynamic? From the stacks this looks like about hand 2.

Yeah probably the third hand. I had seen two showdowns and none of the first three hands had any raising in them so I figured the table was semi passive.

not always a good idea, especially since you do not have position and with an Ace on the flop.
