Should I have raised on the flop or folded? I figured just calling like I did was wrong after I reviewed the hand. I didn't have book on the guy so I didn't know if :Ac: was a hand he would play in EP. I was also wondering why he didn't just go all in right then and there.

Turn: ($0.75) :Ah: (2 players)

Final Pot: $1.01

I didn't feel good about laying this one down. I thought it was a weak tight play but hey I'm no expert so I make mistakes. Help me out guys.

My advice:

One option:
Preflop raise more than min raise to thin it out as much as possible and with a nice flop like that one bet out on the flop to see if you can take it right there.

Best option:
Preflop in such low stakes the best idea is probobly to limp and try to hit a set, otherwise fold and get out of trouble.

Post Flop: If you were wondering why he didnt go all in right there, then you must have figured he was gonna go all in by the end of the hand. If it looks like your opponent is committed to the pot riase him all in with the goods or fold a mediocre hand/bad hand.

You cannot call on the flop and fold the turn. Raise or fold the flop in this situation.

What was your thinking with the call on the flop?

You're hand is only going to get worse, this is where you make the decision if you're best or not. Calling is just postponing and giving the board a great chance to scare you off.

It's a losing move. If you're losing on the turn, you were most likely losing on the flop making your flop call a mistake. Unless you thought he would slow down on the turn and you could raise him off, you should definitly have chosen to push (If you believe you're ahead) or fold (if you're behind)
