Where the hell else would I post this?

Raise more preflop and three-bet the flop.

I actually don't know why I didn't pot preflop. I was experimenting with bets of less than pot for the most part, and it seemed to get 17 extra callers every time. You lead for pot on the flop?(Wow, I actually made this into something of a strat post.)

I bet half the pot on the flop, then pot the turn.Course, judging by the villain you would have won on the flop .Actually. This hand confuses me.Would checking the flop, potting the turn and then potting the river be better?Since we didn't hit anything on the flop wouldn't it be better to try to take it down now?

Nah i like it,I am sometimes potting it sometimes raising a reasonable amount preflop with this hand , Good to mix it up.Our position sucks, we don't have a hand , i want to take this pot on flop so i probably pot it there. Sucks to be re-potted tho. Wingman isn't the only one who fancies commas,That said, NH.

I'm certainly potting the turn here, you have every out in the known universe if you're behind. OOP, the river is unhealthy, but if we've led the turn and gotten called, lead the river. With his check behind on the turn, I would have put him on K8xx or K6xx most likely, with T9xx after that. NH, tho.

NH, tho.

Sorry guys, I don't think you quite get this. Not betting either the turn or river here is criminal.

Merely commenting on the prettiness of it. Still, I'm not 100% on betting the river.
