I hate the not cbetting and I hate the raise on the river. Don't bother raising if you're going to start the postflop action off the way you did. His raise on the river screams 66 or even

You posted just to get insulted?

You know this play is probably the worst you ever done, we do not need to tell you that.

When you play a line that- you never know where you are at. The river raise hurts to watch.

A smart man learns only from his own mistakes.
A wise man learns from his own mistakes, and those of the smart man and the fool.

meh river raise is bad but not terrible seeing as we have completely under-repped our hand by not bettign flop. I mean, yes it's thin but he's betting $10 into $39 and a minraise/fold isn't terrible although I don't like it (raise/call is awful though). I think the worst street by far is the flop.

lol I wish this was even in the top 3 bad things I did yesterday, let alone ever

I basically agree with everything badgers said about it. I also agree that the minraise river is very inefficient and really not that smart.

I guess I might disagree in general about the badness of the flop check, as I play hands this way some of the time. Maybe its a leak. Probably. I find myself doing things like this at times just to mix in some made hands when I check behind on the flop. I don't usually play 1/2 and doing that is almost certainly unnecessary at lower stakes, so I think it might be something I need to relax about and stop screwing around.

it's more important that you balance your betting range than your checking range on this flop
