I'm just getting back into the game after a 2+ year hiatus. I've been keeping my head above water so far. Here's a hand from tonight that I felt like I 'effed up.

Reads: 35/17 but I haven't seen him do anything crazy post-flop, only 30 hands.

I could have either a) checked on the turn, b) folded to his raise, or c) went all-in. Instead I called his raise.....

I felt like he was strong here but called anyway.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Button ($9)
SB ($4.95)
BB ($18.50)
Hero (UTG) ($10)
MP ($10.80)
CO ($9.55)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A

, K

Hero bets $0.40, 1 fold, CO calls $0.40, 2 folds, BB calls $0.30

Flop: ($1.25) 6

, 8

, 3

(3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $1, CO calls $1, 1 fold

Turn: ($3.25) 2

(2 players)
Hero bets $2.25, CO raises to $5, Hero calls $2.75

River: ($13.25) 10

(2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $3.15 (All-In), Hero folds

Total pot: $13.25 | Rake: $0.65

I left results because I know I played this hand horribly and don't mind hearing about it. I'm trying to learn the game again.

preflop is good

683 multiway is a flop you probably don't want to cbet multiway. i dont like the turn double barrel because a 2 changes nothing and if hes calling you on the flop hes calling you on turn

I probably wouldnt c-bet this flop, because it doesn't really hit our range. If I did, i'd be wary of someone calling as with such a dry flop it might very well mean two pair/set. Wouldn't bet the turn, and would probably fold to the minraise..as played river fold was good. (IMO).

<JustinSKS> Tha'ts why I fold my 33 to 72o, because 7 high beats, 1 pair, donk.
