Funny hand

[twosevoff]

I shouldn't be playing this junk at all, let alone raising utg, but I know it's a leak and I like playing recklessly so no need to berate me about my preflop hand selection.

Anyhow, in the hand I put him on a ten on the flop and a queen on the river, which explains my value raise on the flop and then attempt to bluff the straight on the end. Let's just say things didn't turn out as expected...

If you're trying to represent a strong hand, the min raise on the flop is too weak. Why call the turn? Are you ahead or not? Do you have fold equity or no? Raise and make him fold, or fold yourself. Why show down TP no kicker against aggression? it's not like you're checking this one down to showdown. The raise on the river is just a money furnace. Are you trying to rep the strait? It's weak. You raised the flop, called the turn, and then raised the river...I don't see what hand you are trying to consistently represent here, or do you still think your Q is good?

On the flop I'm raising to find out where I'm at. Since he just calls, I put him on a lower pair or possibly a better queen. My plan was to check behind on the turn and then lead out for about the pot on the river if both were blanks. As f0r what hand I could be representing, TJ and JQ both make a lot of sense and I would probably play both of those exactly the same way as I did in this hand. I was almost positive he didn't have the straight on the end, so I made a big raise expecting to fold out two pair.
