Alright so Ive been at the table for about a half an hour and pretty much found it to be the loosest table ive ever played at in my life, with no exaggeration. Every hand is at least 4 handed, but usually 5 or 6. Minimal raising pre flop, mostly limping.

applicant: 39/23/2.7 35 hands
pipra:52/6/.45 33 hands

I also apologize as the converter does not recognize titan poker HH.
More background on image: Id mostly been playing tightly, couple limped low PP because of the high % of ppl seeing the flop and no PFR. Showed down a flush and a straight so far.

GAME #719500734: Texas Hold'em Limit $0.50/$1.00 2007-11-12 01:25:12
Table Spencer

I felt the flop was a good one to cbet, as they would be afraid of the ace and I also like a high cbet % (them not dinking made me feel they had no J or A). And decided before I bet that I would take the free card if it was an option and it just happened to make me 2nd pair. Is this a thin value bet that has to be made on the river? From the posts I have read and what I "think" I am learning this is a good spot to pick up value on the river.

On reflection should I have bet the turn as well? With the queen falling and me betting before that it could have disguised my holdings.

Bet the turn, absolutely. So many people peel one off in low limit games that a flop cb alone is often not effective enough. The big bet on the turn might be enough of a deterrent.

If anyone had called, I would have checked the river. At this loose a table, too many will play weak Aces and call them down.

As played, I probably just check the river. You wouldn't get paid off enough to make a river bet worthwhile.
