I just don't feel good inside about this one

Just started my second orbit, UTG has done anything to make me think he is tricky.

.50/1 5 max

In BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

preflop:
UTG calls, all fold to me I check

flop: 2.5 SB
7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

hero checks (intending to c/r), UTG checks

I don't like to c/r here too much with the Q/J showing, if it was a K, I would be much happier.

Turn: 1 BB
Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
hero bets, UTG calls

River: 3 BB
8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
hero bets, UTG raises, hero folds

eh? I don't know what else to really say

The pot is so small. I don't mind taking a shot on the turn, but when he calls, let it go. Folding the best hand on the river is a much smaller mistake here than calling with the worst hand.

I think I'd lead the flop and then go from there. Since the c/r fell through when he checked the flop, you're kinda lost in the hand.

This is a bad place to try and c/r the flop. Limping UTG does not say "aggression" to me.

Bet the flop, bet the turn, check/call the river.

As played, folding is certainly better than calling in this miniscule pot.

here was the flaw in my plan, I really should stop trying to read 2+2 and play at the same time. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Why are you wanting to check-raise this flop? I'd just bet it.

Turn and river seems okay.
