Crying Calls?

[atnels]

UB .25/.50

Hero is MP1 with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

All fold to hero, who raises. All others fold to BB, who calls.

Flop: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Hero bets, BB calls.

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

River: 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. BB bets, hero calls.

Was it correct to call on the turn? What about the river? I'm pretty new to online hold'em and although I have been reading everything I can get my hands on I feel like my biggest fault is staying in hands I should get out of.

This is my first post here so please forgive me if it is in the wrong forum, etc.

This looks ok to me, folding seems a bit weak/tight to me, but BB waking up there on the turn is a bit scary on this board. With no read, I'd most likely call down.

If you think you're staying in too long, post a few more hands where you think this is the case.

You've got it in the right place, and Welcome to the forum!

I like a raise on the turn, fold to a 3-bet or a lead on the river. In general, this will cost you the same when behind (calling down), but gain a bet when you're ahead (when opponent won't bet the river).
