Is there a better way?

[Wired Jokers]

For the life of me, I hate the way I played this. I can't put my finger on why. Was it the turn or river? Or both? Or none? Villian after 15 hands was 42/4/1. Table overall was pretty loose in the short time I had been there.

what's betting the turn here that you beat?

i really don't like the turn raise. the only thing you beat is a bluff, and in that case you don't want to raise and make him give it up.

i'm folding here without a better read. if you know the player is silly, then call down, don't raise.

When MP2 bet into me on the flop, I put him on a six at least. Remember, this is 2/4 Party, and the guy is pretty darn loose pre-flop.

When he stop-n-go'ed me on the turn, I raised to force out button. At that point, I had MP2 on K6 or A6 of diamonds, or KJ. But my hand reading skills leave something to be desired of late.
