this might be a prime example of playing underbankrolled for the game.. you end up playing like a pussy.. although im still unsure about the proper line

Hero ($570)
UTG+1 ($531)

Turn: ($201) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $125, Hero folds.

i dont really want to go to the felt here. i felt if i bet half pot it looks really weak and i open myself up to a bluff/semibluff that i dont want to call. if i pot it here im basically committed.. ill have 300 left on river in a 600 pot. likewise i think a checkraise here would have to be all in.

This is painfully weak.

You're way ahead here way too much of the time to check the turn. You should have come in for a pot sized bet or pushed. You're right, if you're going to play like this much of a pussy, it doesn't make sense to play at all. He could easily be on a flush draw or have a marginal holding like A9s or T9s. C'mon now.

Weak - maybe I guess, but in the future don't just give away the turn, pick the player up and throw him off his draws!!!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA...BAHAHBAHHAHAHAHHA. Allah is angry at you for playing this way. He says your turban must be too tight. He says, next time you play this way, you will be required to sacrifice your hand, particularly whichever one you click with.

haha that was pretty creative.

right, so, i knew this was weak before i posted it. i even stated it in the original post. so far one response has been contructive as to how to play the hand.
