Maybe it's just me, but I'm partially impressed and partially confused by your self-control here. I would have reraised the turn, probably quite big with the 2 flush draws out there. I probably would have gotten broke on this hand.

The way it played out, though, he didn't quite make the implied odds for his flop call. $2 in the pot + $8.50 more he made from you = $10.50 total. He called $1 on a 1-in-11.75 draw. So he was only short by $0.25.

Did you not raise the turn because of the possible straight and sets out there?

Well, even though he was drawing to a gut shot, I had been agressive througout the hand. When he re-raised me the minimum amount it smelt like a trap to me and I went into cheap showdown mode.

Had he over-bet the pot or re-raised me a real amount that wasn't begging for a call I would have gone broke on the turn.

I guess something was just fishy about the turn bet so I just called/called.

The turn is a make card, and you got raised on it as you caught two pair. Cheap showdown mode all day. Well done.

You called a limp with KJo from mid position. It was always going to end in tears.

I have a hard time with this hand.

I don't like to raise with it from mid position because it is so weak, but I don't like to just toss it because it can make a pretty decent top pair, and even a brodway straight.

What do you guys usually do with it from mid to late position?

This hand was leaking money for me according to poker tracker before I plugged it. Now I only limp, and if I raise with it I only raise from the button. I'm usually quite happy to let it go if I'm not happy with the flop and there's too much action...
