Default Re: Flush draw + OESD, raise turn for value?

This is exactly how a poker player compounds mistakes. In my experience, I have found or caught myself making mistakes, not so blatant as this one, but I am sure when my experience was less it must have happened. The problem is that you realize you have made the mistake, so now the next step should be: I need to play this hand the best that I know how, so as to not compound the mistake. I am curious why the flop call? If you are aware of the mistake or misclick preflop, it sounds like your your concern with the turn raise should not be the center of your discussion, but more along the lines of correcting a play or big leak that comes up often so you dont find yourself in these tough decisions. As for the turn check raise, I dont like because your not going to get any one with a pair of J's to fold. By making this play, you should be thinking if I bet I think these players will fold or if I bet my hands is worth seeing a showdown so I need to protect it. I dont think there is any value in any of the two scenerios happening. So your turn check raise was in vain. If you are trying to adjust from full ring game, congrats on trying to improve. How many tables were you playing in the full ring game? how many are you trying to play in 6 max? I beat the 3-6 full game for about 6 months playing 6 tables at 2.25 BB. I switched to 6 max and dropped down to 2 tables or even one for a few thousand just to insure that I am understanding and getting used to the speed and different plays. Hopefully this gives you some advice.
