Game #1243546576 starts.

I think I misplayed this hand poorly. I put him on a small pocket pair, since he limped called my raise preflop.

But I didnt even think of the fact that he could of limp-called my raise, with a hand like Ah6h, or some suited connector.

I usually play this board fast, as 10 9, on any board gives a lot of straight possibilities, and it had two hearts already. But I also wanted to make value for having the nuts on the flop.

The next card was a spade, making two different flush draws on the board, plus the straight draw still there. I decided to bet 70, a little less than half the pot (maybe should of bet 3/4 of the pot). Right here, I should of obviously put him on a draw, and shut down on the river if any spade, heart or 8, J, Q, 7 came up. But I tried to value bet my set for half the pot.

I should of just checked behind him here, obviously dumb play by me, which cost me 300 chips early.
