How did I do here? Good or bad laydown? Enything else to do better?
My preflop raise to 4xBB had so far been enough to keep it at few callers at this table, so I was a bit surprised when so many called.

Good laydown.. you gotta raise more when you got three limpers behind you. I would have done $6.75 right there. Also the turn bet was a waste. I put him on KQ.

you had 3 limpers behind you preflop, meaning you need to raise it way more than to 2. 3 or 3.50 at least.

yah, with so many limpers, a preflop reraise needs to be a little bigger. Flop play is perfect. Nothing more you can do.

Agree with all them above. Raise more pre-flop, rest is fine. Typically I add 2 BB's for every couple of limpers. With three limpers I'd probably raise to $4 instead of $2. The problem is that if your raise is small and the first guy calls, everybody else is going to call for the terrific (and improving) pot odds.

Thanks for comments. 2$ was my standard raise for any preflop raise. I probably need to learn to increase it more often in the right situations.

I was still ahead on the turn if he held KQ.
I thought maybe he held KQ and was thinking of raising him all-in for his last 13$ on the turn. But with both very possible straight and flush after the turn and with me not holding the A, I decided to call it down cheap or check it out on the turn and river. That is why I called his turn bet. With the 9 falling on the river though there was no point in calling any bet I think.

very nice and disciplined laydown... this is the type of situation where i may look at the pot odds to call at the river which looks like 4:1 [quite tempting] and therefor i may call *however* in this situation its either split pot or you lose so folding is the best option

ps love the sig... cant help but think its more alcohol his mate throws at his back!
