I wanted to keep it small with 2 guys, then scare card coming off, of course I have to bet the river.

I could've easily folded this. He had a hand that barely beet mine..But it was sure good enoguh for another 12 bucks. The worst hand preflop always wins.


3/4 operation fold to min raise

how big is your roll? are you winning? i'm not sure if you should play 50NL really.

I'm a 10NL player, so please rip this advice apart:

F*ck pot control for the moment, make it $9 to go on the flop, then fold to a re-raise. That should make it you and EDwhat heads-up on the turn, whereby if he checks, you can bet out, and again, fold to a push. Being multiway on the turn without anyone volunteering themselves as the aggressor is horrible territory.

I raise on the flop every time. You didn't get re-raised pre-flop so I would discard KK as a possible hand, top-pair with top-kicker is certainly worthy of a raise here. When the turn hits, I would then be very careful about the straight draw. If you raise, a decent amount, on the flop and you are called by j-10/9-10 etc. then I am pretty sure you are winning money in the long run. Even with the implied odds.
When you are checked to on the turn, I bet here with TPTK. If you are raised, throw it away.
After the flop/turn play I am probably putting this guy on Q-rag or K-rag or something similar.
After that raise on the river I fold. That would then confirm two pair in my mind.

whoaaww, how weak is that

why did you want to keep it small? you won't be happy in the longrun playing TPTK like this in multi-way pots. also, what "scare" card came off?

gotta pop the flop -

thank you, drive through.....
