Default Re: Early on: my best and worst starting hands

Ask yourself if calling this much is a good policy? The flop is paired (which does not help you at all). The Turn is a scary card (which help you into a possible 2nd-place), the River brings further options of doom (which cannot help you at all).

Why are you calling big raises/bets on board like this? Either you have the best hand or you are in trouble. Raise or fold much more.

Calling the Turn was bad - you need to raise this or fold as you do not want to give anyone the chance of making FH, a better stright or a 1-card flush on the River. Calling the River was plain terrible.
