5/10 NL live--9d10d

[tdarko]

9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]in the CO. two limpers to me, i raise it to $40, folded to the BB who calls, one limper folds other calls.

i have been playing very aggressive and raising with a lot of hands.

the limper is a tight aggressive old man that never gets out of line.

the BB is a young guy about my age, he is a good player and i respect him.

i have $5700 and they both cover me.

flop (J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]) (pot 145)

BB bets 75, limper calls, Hero raises to 295?, BB calls, limper folds.

turn ( J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img])(pot 590)
BB checks, Hero checks.

river (J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img])(pot 590)
BB checks, Hero bets 300?

here are my quesions and thoughts:

was the flop raise bad? was i committing myself to the pot, meaning that if the limper (TAG) comes back over the top then what do i do?

i think taking the free card on the turn was good, any comments?

the river bet?

You don't need a free card - you made your hand. Bet the turn.

Flop raise is fine.

That ace keeps changing suits.

How did the A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] turn into the A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] on the river? Which was it?

[tdarko]

my fault it was the A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] the entire time sorry for screw up. the diamond came on the river.

this is why i hate posting live hands, cant copy and paste. i always screw them up [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].

i would still like help with the hand though.

[tdarko]

i can't even edit it, it says Ace of hearts in the OP but posts a diamond. sorry for the inconvenience, its being screwy for some reason. i will keep trying.

I like the reraise. It might be a little big, but that's not a huge problem. I like raising more on the river though.

[pokerjoker]

Does anyone else like a bigger river bet ~400 here. He probably has the jack with a decent kicker and I doubt he would check a fullhouse here. Hero isint playing this like a completely obvious flushdraw either.

I'd bet 500 on the river hoping a Jack calls you. If your reraised you can fold it.

I'd say I'd check the turn 80 percent of the time, but if I felt like I wasn't getting checkraised on the turn, there are times I'm betting 400 on the turn.
