[timsplace]

Not really, just trying to understand what, if anything I did wrong on this hand other than maybe raising the inital raise...

seems a little agressive that initial call by seat 1

I'm seat 6

Trying to understand it all

Im not sure how you see seat 1's call as a little aggressive?

Anyhow, I fold this preflop. If I was to call and look for a set, I would be hoping that rhd7 would come along for the ride. The other two just havent got big enough stacks.

Flop is standard I think.

Most important: buy in full.

Edit: and welcome to the forums

fold pre-flop
flop is probably fine since they're both very short-stacked - not positive though

it's ok to buy in short if you know what you're doing and why you're doing it. you can't call 6BB pf raises very often because you don't have enough $ behind to make up for all the times you miss and fold. learn about implied odds and how it applies to stack size.

Good. I think you've come to the right place. The guys above covered this hand pretty well, so I have a separate point:

Get out of the habit of posting in Bad Beats. Really. Posting one bad beat a month is a good average, and even that isn't necessary.

Welcome.
