Yeah, rr pre-flop. I fold flop. It's tough to bluff loose shorties out of pots, esp if you wait until the turn or river when they only have ~ pot behind. If you really want to try to bluff him, I'd raise the flop to $12. Also, top off your stack.

this is played pretty terribly IMO. Definitly raise preflop. As played i fold the flop. 2 overs and a backdoor draw arent enough to continue and if villains are passive you most likely arent going to be able to bluff them out on the turn.

i second the need to top off your stack.

I figured on the turn that perhaps repping the straight was feasible given I could have called with QT or T7 from the BB.

But yeah, I agree it was fiarly bad, I have noticed that I am not re-raising a lot with AK, AK, JJ etc at the moment and not sure why.

As for the stack, I was giving $50 a try for only the second time since restarting and I wanted to see when I had dropped $25 if I was playing badly so I could leave and head back down to recoup before trying again, plus sometimes I like to try to recover just to see if I focus better when I'm down at a table

preflop is bad, post flop is bad.
At least fire a bullet on the river and win without showdown.

definetly reraise preflop. this will be a lot easier to play post flop to if you rr preflop.
