Too Weak?
 

Looking back I think I should have bet the flop. Is it too weak to lay this down on the turn? MP is a slp-p 28/0/.75 over 40 hands. Do I call down here? I think it should be a call down three handed, but does the presence of UTG plus the two overcards turn it into a turn fold considering the pot size?

I like the flop call, and the turn fold, but what do I know.

Re: Too Weak?
 

I'm not raising this preflop.

Given that you did, and that you caught a piece of the board, a flop bet is pretty much mandatory.

Out of curiosity, what was your reasoning in raising preflop and yet checking postflop?

Really should bet the flop here after raising preflop (which I do like, by the way).

I've been trying to raise more preflop and I figured after a few limpers it was a good spot to raise. On the flop I guess I was worried that my hand was vulnerable to redraws if I hit my two pair. Looking at it now I really don't understand it either.

Re: Too Weak?
 

I raise the flop to eliminate UTG and when the Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] comes I check/call the turn heads up looking for a K,J, or T to improve my hand. Not raising the flop and three handed I probably check/fold as my outs are more likely to be tainted.

River you come up empty and have to fold...
