you can't call raises after blocking bets if you want to win.

I like the 1/2 pot raise on the river. It's substantial but keeps most of your cash out of the pot.
Once you're in for the $8, plus pot of $15, plus his raise of $16 = $39 you get 5:1 odds on calling the $8 raise. You only have to be right 1 of 6 times to break even.
Unfortunately, I put him on A,Q.

(this thread is now about djoyce's new puppy and not about my misplaying of this hand)

Rather than Hijack this thread I am going to start an OOT thread, since this is a subject I am concerned about, check it out if you care.

You're trying too hard to be tight aggressive and not using common sense.

I try to keep pots small when I just have top pair. I know it's not "by the book", but I would probably only raise $.50 or $1 on the flop. I don't want to play for 1/3 of my stack with what ended up being 2nd pair.
