    This is exactly the kind of hand thats killing my game.Still no stats until I can figure out my poker tracker.Working on that.
    How is just posting a hand going to help you improve. Go through and give the reasons for your actions on each street.why you're raising pre , why you check behind on the flop, why you call the turn and why you raised the river. You'll get more from it ,if you find out what you were thinking is right or wrong , rather than whether you should just call or shove over the river or whinging about getting beaten.

    Maybe you should have tested water on flop?
    Not sure that i like the way that this is worded.If its the river he doesnt have nothing but then again he doesnt have that great a hand either

    Yes!!!Exactly!!!
    The root of the problem here is that I have no idea why I did what on which street.I started to post this hand with all intentions of explaining my actions but found that I was only trying to defend my horrible post flop play.Which I think would be detrimental because it wouldn't be truthful.

    So you sir hit the nail on the head.I need to know why I'm making what choices or get the hell out of the hand.Lesson learned.

    I thought I came to this site to learn how to play poker when what need to do first is learn how to learn to play poker.Maybe someone can write an article on that.Maybe someday I'll have enough knowledge to do it myself.I'm not goin anywhere for a while.

    This site rules!
