Playing live 2-5 nl. I have $175, villian has me covered. Only been plaing for a few minutes, table seems to be weak loose, ever hand seems to go to the river, often with some marginal holdings.

dealt to Hero A Q in BB.

Utg +1 limps, 3 other players call, sb folds Hero raise to $25, UTG +1 calls, all others fold.

flop k j 10

Hero bets $40, villian calls

Turn 4

Hero bets $75, villian raises allin

After the turn bet you only have 35$ left. I'm pretty sure you have to call at that point and hope for the 9 at the end.

Calling was automatic, just wondering about the play up to then. In retrospect, the flop bet might of been weak. When the blank fell on the turn, I was essentially going allin, the other $35 was relatively meaningless in terms of his decision.

The question's are

Preflop raise ok?

flop bet appropriate?

Should I have fired the 2nd bullet on the turn?

By the way, I am not saying I lost this pot. Just want everyones opinion of the play. I play a lot of NL tournies, and some cash games. I am just trying to feel my way around the cash game. I tend to play very tight in tournaments, I am not sure how much to loosen up in a cash game.

In this hand I flopped a broadway straight, 2nd nut flush draw and open ended straight flush draw. I am only really completely dead to A 9 , that is so remote as to not even be a possibility. Against any other holding I am either ahead or have redraws.

call....
