These may not be very interesting, so please spare me the insults if these are basics. I'm learning, and I already know I'm an idiot.

I was trying to mix it up a little preflop here. Was it really bad at that point (I'm not regularly doing this), or is it ok sometimes with UB deepstacks? How's the rest of my play? Bet a little bigger on flop, and eliminate the unforgivable follow up bluff on turn, given the check-call and the clubs hitting? Or should I simply never be raising this preflop, under any conditions? Just wanna know at what point I really screwed up. Thanks.

I hate betting the turn. He's already told you he's a got a hand he kinda likes. Why push it?

I agree. What about preflop? That unforgivable too?

Meh, I prefer to limp but I think raising is fine as long as you don't make terrible turn bets [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

i limp pre but raising isnt bad, switch it up sometimes c/r the flop sometimes check/call then lead out, find cool ways to play each hand itll make the game more fun and also help you learn how to read opponents better.
