Default Re: Still Shaking about this hand guys, help needed.

*grunch*


OK first thing is you did not raise enough preflop for the penny stakes game ($.10 is better IMO), and you REALLY didn't raise enough on the flop given the potential straight draw on the board. There was already $.24 in the pot and you only raise another $.04, giving Button almost 5-to-1 and BB then gets better than 8-to-1 when the action gets back to him. You need to raise at least half the pot.

So now let's look at the turn. Hmm well it looks like if someone had 86 they just got there. But, it doesn't matter because the action is checked to you and you bet a small fraction of the pot again, giving everyone else great odds to draw against you.

I can't really comment on the river because by the time you get there you really cannot put your opponent on a hand since you didn't really test them properly on previous streets. I agree with the fold, though.
