Preflop is ok, but 250 would be standard. Actuary will probably say raise to 500.

On the flop I despise your bet. Really hate it. Someone probably has an ace. Check.

You have to call the turn and river, if only for the info.

I dont see how you can fold the river getting 14:1, especially with the very odd betting from cutoff.

A bigger raise PF might have helped. Standard is (3+limpers) x bb, so 250 is the minimum here. Also since youre OOP to any call you might want to kick it up to 300.

You got out of this one cheap with an A flopping, and may actually be ahead here. An A would almost always raise the flop and bet more on the turn.

6 remaining at the 25/50 level? Wowza. Nice dead money there.

What Cop said. Expect to lose to a very ragged A, but you'll win more than 1/14 times.
I should change this.
