I'm new. Comments appreciated.

This seemed standard, just keeping myself in check.

You've made your holding pretty obvious, but I like it.

I thought so too, but I get the general idea that opponents in NL5- are, for the most part, retarded.

He instacalled with JT. Heh. Runner runner rools.

I like your line.

The only thing I might do different is bet a little more on the flop. If you're going to continuation bet here, I would personally bet more than 1/3 the pot. I'd probably bet $4 or $5. I do realize this is a very minor detail though [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Other than that, it looks good. I like the check raise on the turn.

Bet more on the flop, you will get called by all sorts of TP and draw type hands by betting so small. Keep betting the turn, you wouldn't check here with AA or KK here would you? The check-raise makes it pretty obvious obvious what you have, granted villian in this hand is a donk and can't read but against better players this line won't double you up. JMO
