Live Poker

Ok the clown will speak up. Actually I play a mixture of live and online. I play at Commerce at least 2 days a week. That being said, you still lost too little money. I do not think you necessarily needed to "get it all in as fast as possible". But at some point before the river you need to see where you are at. Checking the flop and calling the turn gives you no information. Yes the preflop minraise is scary. Were there any limpers before you raised? A minraise heads up is even more scary, but a min raise with limpers could just be Pot Building 101 as the locals like to say. But unless this was the first hand this guy has played in 20 orbits and you KNOW he has AA, KK, or 10 10, you need to get some information here. Hence my comment that you should have lost a lot more than you did.

FWIW, he played the hand even worse. The way he played the hand you could very easily have QJ. He couldn't raise the river.
