Hand review, biggest pot lost.

I've gotten into my head that whatever hands I play with I raise with pre, is this a bad habit to get into or I guess there are certain spots where it is ok to flat, what about limping in sometimes is that bad play? Thanks for the info mate

Yeah there's surely spots where it is better to flat. This hand is an example because you have to put 2bb into a 7bb pot. And thus, T9s is a marginal hand, and your aim is to search for draws, and for that it is better to keep the spr high. By 3betting you are reducing a lot the spr and you will commit to the hand a lot easier.
It is also kind of a tricky hand, especially when you hit top pair with this hand, it is very easy to loose a lot of money in those cases, and with a small pot it is a lot easier to fold in situations that wouldn't be easy if you make the pot big.
Other examples where you can flat call is for example when you have AJ or AQ, or KQ and you have position on the villian. I suggest you to almost always have either the aggresion, position or both. The most common exceptions are when you have connectors on the bb where pot odds are higher.

NEVER limp, just do it when you have small pairs or connectors and you are on SB and there are 1 or more limpers in the hand. Odds are brutally high. You can also limp AA or KK when you have a stack of 8bb or less, but this always applies to tournaments because you will never have 8bb in a cash game.

And any other micro players feel free to post hands or how you are doin in here would be nice to see how other players are grindin them
