Somewhat new to to the table, only other pot I've won was a ~80 cent pot with KQ flopping top two pair and I've been around for 5-6 hands.


PokerStars Game #4595838127: Hold'em No Limit ($0.01/$0.02) - 2006/04/11 - 19:19:02 (ET)
Table 'Rotanev II' 9-max Seat #3 is the button
Seat 1: suerte ($1.14 in chips)
Seat 2: azureXsmurF ($5.40 in chips)
Seat 3: cac2548 ($1.82 in chips)
Seat 5: sacowboy2 ($1.80 in chips)
Seat 6: AharonOkada ($1.89 in chips)
Seat 7: sudic ($10.79 in chips)
Seat 8: scd33 ($1.40 in chips)
Seat 9: bluecom.TV ($2.94 in chips)
sacowboy2: posts small blind $0.01
AharonOkada: posts big blind $0.02
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to azureXsmurF [As Ad]
sudic: raises $0.08 to $0.10
scd33: folds
bluecom.TV: calls $0.10
sacowboy2 said, "when you're hot you're HOT"
suerte: calls $0.10
azureXsmurF: raises $0.10 to $0.20
cac2548: folds
sacowboy2: folds
AharonOkada: folds
sudic: calls $0.10
bluecom.TV: calls $0.10
suerte: calls $0.10
*** FLOP *** [8c 7d Qc]
sudic: bets $0.10
bluecom.TV: calls $0.10
suerte: calls $0.10
azureXsmurF: raises $1.10 to $1.20
Is this raise too much? I bet slightly more than the pot because the pot was already getting big for a penny table pot and I'd rather take it down now than have someone hit a flush
sudic: calls $1.10
bluecom.TV: calls $1.10
suerte: folds
*** TURN *** [8c 7d Qc] [Tc]
Basically after they both call my flop raise I'm sure at least one of them, if not both have a flush draw, and QQ/KK are possibilities. Right now I'm pretty certain I'm beat, but they never bet enough to get me off the hand, giving me like 40 to 1 odds to call.
sudic: bets $0.10
bluecom.TV: calls $0.10
azureXsmurF: calls $0.10
*** RIVER *** [8c 7d Qc Tc] [7s]
sudic: bets $0.20
bluecom.TV: calls $0.20
azureXsmurF: calls $0.20

Like I said, I had no real reads so I didn't want to put my whole stack at risk. Should I have still stayed aggressive on the turn and river?

1.) Reraise more than the minimum preflop. Make people pay to see that flop.
2.) Definitely an overbet on the flop, but at this level it didn't surprise me to see multiple callers. Because they both did call at this point, I would suggest slowing down this pot. You could be in trouble, and it is not worth losing a huge pot with an overpair.
3.)I like you calling it down on turn and river. You were paying a cheap price on both streets on a hand where you are not sure where you stand. Getting aggressive here especially with the flush possibility is a huge leak IMO.

 You should be raising WAY more preflop
3 callers at 10c...pot is 33 to you, calling puts in 43
You should raise to 53 cents and see if anyone wants to play.

sudic showed down KK, other guy mucked cards (couldn't see what they were for some reason in instand hh... my guess was either AQ, KQ, or QJ)

I realized after i hit the button I should have reraised a lot more preflop >_< Thanks for reassuring me on that though

as a rule you should pretty much NEVER minraise until you figure out exactly how to use it

 the only thing worse than min raising is min betting

I think I throw up a little in my mouth every times someone at my table does either.

Isn't the buyin for these tables $2?? How do you get a $5 stack in 5-6 hands only winning one pot??? I'm confused...

As others said, the min-raise sucks. The Rest is OK...I might've raised the river when no-one repped the flush...
Hey knucklehead! Bonk!
