My first HH (flopped TP w/ flush draw)

[tbach24]

It depends on the flow of the table. The more aggressive the table, the less I find myself playing hands. The more passive the table, the more I find myself limping . I prefer mid SC's (JT/T9) to high one's because of less likelihood of sharing. They're also better in LP because more often than not you'll have position.

Edit- Bolded word was changed from raising to limping

Depending on the texture of the table, the limp may be fine. If the worst you can expect is a min-raise with lots of customers, no problem. Just remember that you're in the hand for the flush and str8, not the pair with a mediocre kicker. If the table is doing a lot of 4xBB raising pre-flop, let it go.

Flop looks good.

Turn, easy push, and make a note about this guy betting the scare card when it falls.

My two cents,

Sam

fold JQs from early position?

My VP$IP is currently at 11% after 3k hands, i shouldnt be playing tighter should i? Am i just playing the wrong types of hands?

If your vpip is that low (and that is quite low) and you are playing marginal hands up front, by guess is that you are plaing somewhat too loose in early position and too tight in late position. Remember that position is hugely important in this game and you can play many many more hands when you are late.

Agree with Sam completely on this. If pre-flop action is not seeing 3-4 x BB raised the limp in is fine. Beware of the pair weak kicker.
Turn, easy push.
