btw, i'm not posting this cause it was a "bad beat", hell it wasn't even much of my chips compared to my stack.

Post flop was fine IMO. PF...even at a 60, the prospect of playing this hand OOP vs. 4+ opponents is not always a fun one. Standard EP raise PF (but I know you don't need to be told this /images/graemlins/wink.gif)

I would like to know why you limped in this spot. Was the table really aggressive?

[bawcerelli]

i don't know why i limped. caro's law of loose wiring. i'm pretty sure i would have pushed if someone raised.

Raise preflop, bet the flop, bet the turn, bet the river. Pokah is easy.

I like betting all the way here. You have a huge draw and a well disguised hand, how are you going to get paid if you don't try to build a pot?

I don't mind the slowplay because I'm afraid of giving free cards, just don't see how it makes you the most money. At least bet the turn, as any heart would kill your action 99% of the times on the river. You hold the two only cards that likes to get money in on this river. Well two of three at least. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Missed it was three-way.. so yeah do what the others said.

[tigerite]

But ok the way you played this hand you should ALWAYS bet the turn, because any heart comes you are not getting paid off anywhere near enough of the time
