I've just started playing cash games in my very short amateur poker journey and it has been hard for me to adjust from playing tournaments. I think I may have completely mucked this hand up, so I would appreciate advice on all streets.

As this is micro limits people see a flop with everything. So, would you raise pf like I did to build the pot because I very likely have the best hand? This is an issue I have been having with hands like A8-10. How do you play these hands in middle position with 1-3 limpers?

On the flop I interpreted the tiny bet as weakness, I could have raised more but I felt that if he had nothing he would not call this 'smallish' raise anyway.

So I hit my card on the river, but with a paired board do you call or raise?

Cheers

Preflop, you really should raise more if you are going to raise. That is a lot of limpers, and I might even just limp along since bloating the pot with this hand isn't good either.

On the flop, raise his bet to a bigger amount. You made it 5x his bet, but in relation to the pot, it's a tiny raise.

The turn call is fine.

I just call the river too. Not much sense in raising.

Pretty much agree with Acid, except I think you should raise this PF. Punish all the bad players that want to limp and make them pay a real price, I think you should make it at least .16.

Flop bet is a joke, make it something like .30 or whatever was in the pot before he bet. When I get tiny little bets like this led into me, I just pretend they didn't happen and I bet whatever I had planned to c-bet in the first place.

Turn is fine.

River just call.

uh....its $2NL

A raise WILL be paid of by worser hands A LOT

Without exceptional reads, anything but a call on river is bad.

Thank you guys, I admit I probably then made a bad play. I raised to about 80c, I just assumed that he wouldn't have a FH all that often but looking back now I can easily see the mistake. He called a raise so there was a good chance he had a Jack in his hand or an Ace for a split pot. Sure enough he had QJ but only called my raise.

PF raise should be bigger, at these limits i find it usefull to raise 4BBs+1BB per limper.
