Hero...

Comments on all streets welcome.

Raise preflop. I hate opening limping from here. since you didn't...

Bet the flop. He's supposed to have something here..... since you didn't

Bet the pot on the turn..... since you didn't.....

Fold the river... you don't deserve to win anything in this hand.

what scott said, but I call river.

*nods* in hindsight i do wish i had opened for a raise, as I often do On the flop, my thought process was that either I was way ahead of any hand thats not weren't flush draw, or way behind 99 or QQ. This is the only part of the hand that made sens to me in review (anyone else agree, or should I just go ahead and bet anyway?) Also, I agree that my turn bet was pretty sh*tty. Not one of my shining moments.

I've seen ace ace and a total whiffs check in this situation. (AA c/res obviously). I'd rather bet teh flop because he should have something since he reaised preflop.
