    Default Lil help with this hand?

    This is only the 5th hand of the table, but flipfloppers has played 3 out of the first 4. Can I put him on this hand? I was worried about a Q to be honest? What should I do differently, I feel I'm getting really passive cause i've been burned by my aggressiveness this past few weeks...

    Don't bet like the fish.

    Raise the flop to at least 300.

    Don't let people off with just bad calls when they're willing to make horrible calls.

    Your flop reraise is an invite to draw on you.
    The pot is >300, there are all sorts of str8 and flush draws out there.
    2/3 of the pot is the minimum you should bet.

    I would also raise the turn - if I get reraised I am probably folding, if I get called I check the river

    Yeah - you needed to pump that flop raise up to the pot - around 300. Too many straight and flush draws on the board. Not a bad pot - take it down right there.

    Thanks guys, I played way too passively, I'm not sure what I was thinking. I haven't been playing my best game lately, and I appreciate the help.
