Too weak tight, yes?

The other night, playing 10/20 at GVR this hand comes up. (I'm about 9 hours into session and tired...my first problem). The worst part - my reads are that the two players involved at the turn with me are very loose, and call a lot.

three limpers, I raise, big blind and limpers all call.

(10 small bets) flop: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I bet, big blind calls, two folds, button calls.

(13 small bets) turn: K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I check, big blind bets, button calls, I fold.

I just felt awful about my play after this hand...this will def teach me to start paying attention to how long I've been at the table in the future. How badly did I really play this one?

Bet/folding the turn is much better than check/folding.

should I have tried a check raise on the flop?

I agree my check on the turn was gawd awful.

I check the flop.

But if I was tired I would probably bet on auto-pilot mode.

Why would you ever check the flop. I know the reason will be terrible, I just want to hear why.

so if I bet the turn and it goes call, call - what do I do on the river? it was a 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] by the way...even though I was out.

(I don't know the hands they held, because after the river the big blind bet and the button folded).

Because it sounds like the button will bet almost everytime when checked too here. Plus, even if it's checked around it's not so bad and you can bet any turn blank or check a K or Ace or [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

I don't think his fold is bad at all. I think he's being results oriented.

I'm what many would call weak-tight. I consider myself conservative.

In the hand the flop does not appear draw rich. So what calls your flop bet? Flush draws and maybe overcards or AT, KT, QT, JT, A5s, A2s.

The turn completes the flush and is an overcard to your pair. You're in worst position. I don't think check/fold is bad.

But I guess you through away the winner - hence the post?

i don't know...the river went bet/fold, so i didn't see whether or not i was good...i just felt like i should have either bet and folded to a raise, or check called down. the river was a complete brick, and when the button didn't call the end (which he did with any piece), i figured i was way ahead of him at least...just a hand that pissed me off and i wondered if i was being too conservative.
