Not really sure what that means?? Are you saying you agree? My main question here is with my calling the flop raise instead of 3 betting. I tried to show a little weakness here to get in more bets on the turn and river. Anyone check on this flop?

It means imho you played the hand well.

Are you saying you agree?

Yes

I like that you waited until the turn to show the strength of your hand.

Anyone check on this flop?

No

I would of raised preflop. You extracted the max from the flop on, thats the best you can hope for.

"I would of raised preflop."

I figured that comment was coming soon. The texture of the game was so loose passive that I didn't think anyone would fold and I didn't like the prospect of playing that hand against a large field as so many overcards would hurt me. If I only could have used my pattern map, ummm, let's no go there!

For the love of god don't check, many many hands will call you, not all of them will necessarilly bet (a 9 may check through and all the draws and overs people call with could check too). No one who folds this flop was giving you any action anyway.

I think that was well-played all around.
