New to the table, so any weak bets might be representative of that. I don't like to start firing without reads.

Seems OK. This is the difficulty of pot-limit. Knowing what amount of bets means what to other players. To bring in a 80bb pot on just TPTK is good enough.I agree with Allinbluff regarding the turn. A raise would have been good. But still, no major problems for me as it's a somewhat vulnerable hand. I like your river bet though.

I assume you made a small river bet because you wanted a call?Personally, if i had a hand, I probably would have raised you on the river out of the sb, because it is a weakish bet, but it's not terrible :PWell played

Good point Vade. You've got to be careful with the river in PLHE. Remmber it's not limit anymore, so 'value bets' and 'value calls' are to be made carefully. That's why I would have raised the river and made the money there. With position, I'd have checked the river behind him if he'd called a turn raise.
