How many mistakes did I make in this hand? I had just suffered consecutive losses with great hands and probably was in a poor state of mind while playing this hand. Was flop raise good? What about the check/call line on the turn and river.

2nd orbit, no reads.

Flame away.

I can find a fold on the turn.

I'd fold it. The pot is small and you're probably beaten.

I'd fold the turn.

Was the flop raise for value or for information?

Generally, I wouldn't put a single player on a T in that spot, but he did lead out on that flop. So that does raise the probability a little bit.

After he called the flop raise and then lead out again when the Q fell I think it's highly likely you are toast. The pot isn't big enough.

Wow. Weird hand. Looks like he's either on overcards or caught a piece of the flop, and either way doesn't want to give you a free card. Once the second overcard to your pair falls on the turn and he bets into you again, I think you can safely let go in this small pot.

If you had a read and thought that he might be playing overcards like this, thinking that your flop raise signified a diamond draw, then you might fire again on the turn to let him know that's not what you have, but that's 3rd level thinking that usually doesn't apply in micros.

i fold the turn unless i have a strong read to suggest he's insane. (i also raise the flop)

you will be spending 2 BB to win 5 BB. are we winning here 2/7ths of the time against an unknown?
