    Default YOU make the call!

    Aside from the fact that I played these piece-of-shat pocket cards, any comments on the rest of this play?

    Preflop: teddosan is CO with 6, 4. SB posts a blind of $0.05.
    UTG folds, MP1 folds, MP2 calls $0.10, teddosan calls $0.10, Button calls $0.10, SB (poster) completes, BB checks.

    Flop: ($0.50) 5, T, 3 (5 players)
    SB checks, BB checks, MP2 bets $0.2, teddosan raises to $0.4, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds, MP2 calls $0.20.

    Turn: ($1.30) 7 (2 players)

    Ax Suited diamond flush. I probably pay it off, but I wouldn't like it.

    himself fucker.
    Bet the turn stronger. You're not going to be able to telegraph much weakness against that board. If the turn came an ace or paired the board (some card that the opponent would think you're scared of), the weak lead would be a better move.

    River, checking behind to the scare card is an option. However, betting becuase trip 5s might think they've taken it is another. He could still be playing a 5 since you never put him to a difficult decision to fold his 5. Is he capable of still holding a 5?

    I would have rather seen more money go in on the turn.

    I agree, the turn bet was too weak at roughly quarter pot, it leaves the flush draw open and if you have a winning hand you should take it there.

    Yeah, I agree with you guys. Last night, I was thinking about how my play has changed recently, and I came to a disturbing conclusion. For some reason, I've been playing like a puss. A major puss. And it's been killing me. I don't know how it happened, but I put a stop to that now...
