I think I played this OK, but I risked a lot of my stack for just a pair, and was wondering if I should have played it safer and tried to see the showdown cheaply in fear of a set or two pair rather than put him on the flush draw.

I raised more than the pot on the flop because there were so many callers pre-flop.

Texas Hold'em $0.10-$0.10 NL (Real Money)

Seat 1: -Bremseth- ($3.90 in chips)
Seat 2: Damirka1 ($4.90 in chips)
Seat 3: Kelley518 ($12.90 in chips)
Seat 4: Vatu ($20.15 in chips)
Seat 5: temjo69 ($2.55 in chips)
Seat 6: jasonc xx ($5.50 in chips)
Seat 7: s-kimo ($9.45 in chips)
Seat 8: Pena-san ($14.55 in chips)
Seat 9: ThiFace ($7.45 in chips)
Seat 10: flyingPeng1 ($10 in chips)



ANTES/BLINDS
temjo69 posts blind ($0.05), jasonc xx posts blind ($0.10).

FLOP ($2.80 [board cards 2S,QH,9H ]
temjo69 checks, jasonc xx bets $0.25, 2 folds, flyingPeng1 bets $3, Damirka1 folds, 2 folds, jasonc xx calls $2.75.

TURN ($8.80) [board cards 2S,QH,9H,JD ]
jasonc xx checks, flyingPeng1 bets $3, jasonc xx calls $2.10 and is all-in.

RIVER ($13.90) [board cards 2S,QH,9H,JD,4D ]

SHOWDOWN (in white)

flyingPeng1 shows [ AC,AH ]
jasonc xx mucks cards [ 6H,KH ]
flyingPeng1 wins $0.90, flyingPeng1 wins $12.80.

As with your other AA post, my only comment might be to bump it up a little more pre-flop (make it anywhere between 50-80c), especially with limpers in front of you. Might help limit the field a little. If I've worked it out right, you are getting 8 to the flop in a raised pot!!! That's horrific!

Other than that, I think you played it fine.

I love the way that he calls off his last bit of money with a K hi busted draw, presumably waiting for the Heart to drop on the magical 6th community card called the Bridge (or something!)

Some of these guys will call $1 or more pre-flop. F*** balance.
