I wrote a whole post, then it occured to me that this is probably limit, and I have no experience here.

IMO, it is good. You got most of the money in while you were ahead. You have to be less results oriented. Try not to post the results anymore. That usually helps. Most of the time you win this hand, and that's what matters.

I would post this hand in the limit hold-em forum rather than here. I will have a go, but there are far wiser players than me on this forum :) Oh, and use the hand history converter if you can.

Synopsis, well played until the river, questionable call on the river.

I may just call pre-flop, your goal with weak pocket pairs is usually to see the flop cheaply with a lot of players. But I think raising is ok too.

On the flop the only hand you are scared of is 46, but you want to get rid of any draws or make them pay heavily to see the next card. You played this well. The flop action suggests that the big blind is holding 33, 55, 35, 37, 57 which suit you perfectly, or 46, which doesn't... I think 5/6 times you are way ahead, so I bet hard - as you did.

Turn, exactly the same. Well played. 68 doesn't normally play this line.

River. I hate seeing GOBRONCOS raising when it looks as though he has been playing a draw and the 4 completes a gutshot straight. But until he bets I would have expected to see A4 or 68 slow playing the turn. When I see the river re-raised I'd be expecting to be beaten, but dunno if I call or fold. Probably fold. Unlucky. Call it a bad-beat.

god that river sucks

There is no way that you fold the river. You are getting better than 15-to-1 to call. You have second set. I think it's really only good to call.

what about when I'm 100% sure that I'm beat? then again, I'm not. Villain could easily have 44, i forgot about that... so yeah, good call I guess. Which means you played the whole hand just fine. Unlucky

At 15-to-1, he only needs to have a worse hand i think 7% of the time (I am not sure of the accuracy of this number).

However, raising does not have any fold equity due to the size of the pot, and adds no real value to the hand. So a call seems best here.

i'd cap the turn, the rest is good, lol

thanks for the replies, I felt that capping the flop would take out all the 6's except for 66. I just wanted to see if I was wrong in not having a six in anyones range
