I think I played this hand a little better...

Thanks for your comments so far -- I do appreciate it and I think that I'm starting to improve a little bit. Here's another hand that I'd like analyzed.

My own thought process is in bold blue.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (9 handed) converter

MP3 ($1.46)
CO ($5.23)
Button ($4.77)
SB ($1.73)
BB ($0.87)
UTG ($3.42)
UTG+1 ($3.81)
MP1 ($0.80)
Me ($5.09)

Preflop: Me is MP2 with J:diamond:, 7:diamond:.
UTG calls $0.02, UTG+1 calls $0.02, 1 fold, Me calls $0.02, MP3 calls $0.02, 2 folds, SB completes, BB checks.

Here, I thought "This is a hand to limp in with..."

Flop: ($0.12) K:club:, T:diamond:, Q:heart: (6 players)
SB checks, BB bets $0.02, UTG calls $0.02, UTG+1 folds, Me calls $0.02, MP3 calls $0.02, SB calls $0.02.

Okay. Here, the open-ended straight draw flops. Pot's at $0.16 and I have 8 outs - about 3 in 10. Pot odds (1 in 8) are there, so I call.

Turn: ($0.22) A:diamond: (5 players)
SB bets $0.02, BB raises to $0.04, UTG folds, Me raises to $0.28, MP3 folds, SB calls $0.26, BB calls $0.24.

And here's the straight -- and a flush draw to boot. I make a pot-sized raise. Only thing that can beat me right now is a higher flush draw or someone looking to fill a boat...and I just took away the pot odds on either call. Was really surprised to get two callers.

River: ($1.06) 9:diamond: (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Me bets $1.01, SB calls $1.01, BB folds.

...and now the flush hits the river. Again, pot-sizedbet here. Only thing that can beat me is someone holding Qx or Kx of diamonds. Probably could have gotten away by going all-in here.

Final Pot: $3.08

Results in white below:
SB has Jh 6d (straight, ace high).
Me has Jd 7d (flush, ace high).
Outcome: Me wins $3.08.

What do you guys think?[/b]

Played just fine all throughout, although I'm not crazy about limping in J7 suited from any position. I'd sooner limp in with 97 suited or even 57 suited, because your odds of making a straight are better. J7 isn't much of a hand unless you catch a really perfect board like this one. But for the rest of it, well done. The only thing I might say is that you don't really need to bet so hard on the turn; you have the very probable nuts and you can afford to indulge in a little semi-slowplay if you want. It's up to you how you handle that. I am aggressive and will most always raise pretty hard there just to wrap the hand up, but you don't have to feel much pressure; you've got the nut straight and if the flush comes, you're probably in even better shape. The only scenario where you lose this hand is really improbable (like two pair hitting its four outer). If you thought there was a set out there you'd want to be that aggressive or even more so, but with no pre-flop raises and no real bets on the flop, there probably isn't anything to worry about there.

Good knowing it was loose table and you could limp in.

I think I would have raised on the flop though. Other than that good. I dont think at those limits though you can rely on giving people bad pot odds and them folding out. At those limits pump it in when you think you have the best of it and you'll usually get called.

Overbet the flop on the river. A lot of weak players are calling with a lot worse than a flush.
