you haven't been around in a while, did you take a break from poker?

Not actively, I had a lot going on in my life and cut back and stopped visiting the forum. Only played about ~10k hands in the last 3 months. Been trying to play more but realised, as much of a time drain FCP is it does motivate me to play, so I'm back.Hi everyone, how you all been?

I don't like the way you played the hand on any street. Stats?I'd lead flop, if I didn't lead flop and had that kind of action I'd C/R flop. If I donked the turn it would be to b/3b. Finally I would call that river bet. With no stats I still assume these players to be pretty bad just from the open limping.

One of reasons I always lead with hands in limped pots is that you turn your hand face up when you cold 3 bet or call a raise.I think that this is a fold after he raises your turn bet. Your flop actions are so strong and he is still raising. I like donking here actually since your hand is face up anyway that it stops a flush draw that raised UTG on the flop taking a free card.

20/18.I know I shoulda donked or at the very least 3 bet the c/r , as played though I don't think I should 3bet the turn.I played it incredibly weird, I wish I had an excuse but I really don't.I should clarify that I never donkbet turns like that, and I donkbet limped pots all day

I just think you didn't have a plan. If you are donking the turn, why? If it's not to b/3b what is it? If you are calling the turn raise why would you fold to the river bet? I'm sure you know those questions, it's just I think the actions you made don't make sense. It looks like you were trapping and got worried that you actually weren't good? I'm just guessing, but I'm thinking you may have made that decision way too early, like on the flop. And you played it defensively from there, because you put it in your mind you were behind.
