    Well everyone has been right so far, there were no monsters under the bed as I feared. Im glad I pushed preflop, or else he would have definitely bluffed me out of the pot. Would I have done this with queens? Nope.

    How about a little rebluff action after trying to steal the blinds? Would you let the hand go, or attack the weak bet? Im just not sure that this is profitable in the long run even though it was based somewhat on a read.

    I felt it was bad to call preflop, but I didnt want to fold for 6 more bucks and let everyone know they could run me over because so far in the game Ive folded to every re-raise.
    This flop was terrible for me, but his half pot bet looked weak, like the flop was terrible for him too (i put him on JJ or TT after that) so I raised him. My min raise on the flop wasnt the strongest, but it was good enough that he wouldnt want to make it $30 bucks to go with nothing. After I showed him my hand, he admitted that he was just trying to put a move on me as well.

    Well there goes 1/3rd of my stack after my 2pair gets counterfeited by the board when I was up against pocket aces. That would have been a sweet one. Then this hand came along - is this fish play or decent play? I only have a flush + gustshot str8 draw.

    By the way, part of my decision to raise them allin was based on the fact that their stacks wouldnt hurt me too much if I lost, but I could still take both of em.

    Gutshot + Flush = 49% chance to win vs. any pair, and in this case, the two pair created by 2 3 off.

    You did good.

    gut shot plus flush plus over, obviously the A is not always good (wasn't here) but you could have been in against TPTK and a worse flush draw or JJ 10 10 type hand, I think your play is great.
