Hello All, I am a new person here on the forums. Just want to give you a quick intro to myself. I have been playing Poker for about 3 years or so now, playing Limit Texas Hold'em mainly. I live in CO and was usually playing the casinos here in 2-5 limit. Was losing a lot of money too.Stopped for a while (e.g a year), and about 4 months ago started playing online. Thanks to a friend I have read a few poker books: Hellmuth's Play Poker Like the Pros, Caro's Book of Poker Tells, Caro's Fundemental Secrets of Poker, and currently reading Psychology of Poker.I am currently playing on UB, and InterPoker and I have been playing 1/2 Limit. Been doing pretty well I think. With a little help from the bonus sites I have almost doubled my bankroll. I have played some small buy-in tourneys online (eg. $5 $10) where I haven't faired so well, and have played a bunch of SnG's. I have done better there where I have placed in the Top 3 about %50 of the time.Why am I telling you this? To be honest I have been reading the forums a bunch recently, and seen pleanty of people question each other about who knows more and who is the better player. I am not trying to showboat (I don't try to kid myself on my skills at this point), but I figure if I lay all this out now, maybe I can avoid pointless banter later.Anyway, on to my question. About a week ago I tried NL for the first time. I sat down at a .25/.50 table. BTW: I tried that Bison Converter, but it calculated the pot size wrong. It didn't note that money was returned to me after an All-In. So here is cut and paste of the hand from UB.Getting Hand History Information...----------------------------------------------------------------Hand #5587357-4653 at Longwood (No Limit Hold'em)Powered by UltimateBetStarted at 28/Apr/05 19:26:51 player_jp is at seat 0 with $25. beastie bez is at seat 1 with $62.35.

Now I won the hand so obviously I guess I did the right thing. The Question is: When I had 2 callers after the flop, should I have still gone all-in on the Turn? I had just been at the table about 10 mins and didn't have a good feel for the people there, but I did feel I had the best hand at the time. I figured if someone had trips they would have re-raised on the flop. At least I think they would have.I appreciate any comments about this.Monshroud
