first hand of a 1/2 NL homegame. 8 players all with $100 in front. villian is BB in this hand. i have never played w/ villian but my impression is a loose-passive player who would call to much. SB has a fairly str8 forward playing style, to loose PF.
PF
folded to hero on button with K /images/graemlins/heart.gif10 /images/graemlins/club.gif. I raise to $5, both blinds call.
FLOP($15)

SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $9. SB calls, BB calls.
TURN($42)

SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $86(all-in), SB folds, BB calls $86(all-in).
RIVER9(~$214)
Q /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
BB all-in, HERO all-in.(results in white)
<font color="white">BB shows J5 diamonds for the flush
HERO shows K10o, flopped 2 pair and i'm out on the first hand #^%*. </font>
Ok, this is actually my first post so lets see how it goes. this hand happened last night and the more i thought about it the more confused on the line i took.
(PF) i felt a small raise was in order because of the weakness of the other 2 players. if 1 folded that was ok but i didn't mind seeing a flop w/ position on them and i knew i wouldn't get re-raised.
(FLOP) on the flop i knew i had both of them at the moment but both SB and BB i felt would chas either the flush or str8 draw. I bet about 3/4 of the pot. i actually was hoping to get a call and push a blank turn.
(TURN) at this point i pushed when checked to. i did this because i figured them both for either a pair or a draw and i wanted the draw to fold. i figured the pot was big enough at the time, so i tried to kill the action. that was the line i took, all i can say is it didn't feel right from the PF min- raise to the end.
I have questions on all streets, particularly the flop, i felt had i raised more i would have been in a bettor spot on the turn, or not. 2 pair hands have been giving me trouble lately as to my line against loose-weak players who seem to call to much, which was why i overbet the turn so much.
anyway, any advice or thoughts would be helpful.
