Here's my own critique:
1. With 2 limpers in front of me, a raise of 7.5 times BB should normally be enough to thin the field to one opponent.

2. Villain #1's min bet on the flop does not indicate any strength. My raise to t150 should drive any non Ax out right now. His call means he must have Ax and threfore I'm beat or he is on a flush draw.

3. Here's the 3rd diamond. Did he fill his flush? Is my check on the Turn a leak? I figure at this point I'm beat and in Check / Fold mode. I think this is how HOH would advise. No?

4. By the River he either knows he's got the best hand or that I'm weak after my check on the Turn. He bets and I fold.

Your thoughts?

Thanks,

what buyin is this? the pf raise seems a bit excessive at first, but might be right at the smaller STTs. AFter that I like your reasoning/play.

edit- welcome to the forums.

Hi,

Buy in is $11. I've had trouble thinning the field lately so I increased the raise. Of course I got two callers anyway. lol

Side question, how tough are UB SnGs compared to Party?
