Not sure I understand the flop bet.

Me neither. Was it just to see where your at? Also what was your read on this player? Was he a solid Tight/Aggressive player or was he mixing up his play. You can maybe come back over the top of him to see if he was just trying to push you out. But myself personally I would have checked the flop. There's always the chance he's made a set in which case your ahead after the turn. A lot depends on your reads of his play up to that point. Also heads up I would have re-raised him pre-flop you've probably got the best hand might be a race at that point and he might not want to take the chance. But if he came back over the top you gotta figure him to have a high pair. Again it depends on your reads.Don't take this as gospel, I'm probably wrong

I think it was correct to fold.I've always thought drawing to a lower straight means you're drawing dead. And it would be reasonable to put him on something like KJ, AJ, or JJ because of the pre-flop raise. I would have folded.

I think your fold was good. If anything, I think you lost more than you should have. You came into two cases where two big rules come into play:1) "no set, no bet" 2) "don't play the ignorant end of the straight"both rules can be "bent" but only under very certain cercumstances. I would have check/folded the flop. I think the flop was bad for you; three over-cards and they are all connected. The turn only would have gotten you into more trouble.Good fold.

Yeah the flop bet looks a little suspect now after I put it down on paper, I was hoping he was on over cards and would lay it down, heads up I figured I would take a shot at the pot there being out of position, instead of check folding. The Turn only brought me deeper into the hand so I feel at that point I couldn’t check fold so I bet.....Thanks for the look....

Your bet is so small relative to the pot and stack sizes it gives him odds to draw to a jack if he has a queen. If you want him to lay it down you have to represent JQ and overbet the pot. Then you're forcing a hand like KQ to make a call without odds to 10 outs.

first post here and not claiming to be expert(in fact, not even close)- but if i may ..i disagree with both a. no set no bet and b. dont draw on lower straight - those seem good limit table rules.1. first of all, whole dynamics changes if u are last to act and can have a feel for other person's bet (obv easier if in person. main reasonwhy i hate net poker)2. if i were the guy playing you in that hand, i still might have raised you 20 or 40 if i believe that you would have checked if u had a J and/or JQ and felt that yours is a 'testing water' bet.. 3. u didn't provide your table image (were u check raising constantly before that hand?, are you seen more as a tight player that only plays nuts?) - if your image is a tight player and you still bet after that turn card, and he raises you, your fold is probably correct. if you are often a check raiser, and you bet after that turn, it tells the opponent that you have a weak hand. if you are a mixed, swith-style-every-half-hour player, then very hard to judge if its correct fold or not. what do i know. i play this game entirely based on the feel of the table as opposed to rules. same situation same hand, i might play differently vs different players - call me a rookie :cry: .. happy to learn. i am sure dan will laugh at my comments if he sees this.(only a few rules i make in high stakes NL -an example would be dont draw flushes when board pairs on flop especially if pair is close to other card ..something like JJK, JJQ, JJ10 etc that people often play)

This is tough. Because you can't really improve your hand. 678910.This is a tough one. I don't think he has a Jack. He may have a high pocket pair or even a set... but for some reason I don't think he has a jack. If he has one jack, he's got two jacks...This could really go either way. Sorry, no help! When in doubt..... FOLD.Like I said, your hand will not improve... so it's only going to be harder to call after 5th street. If you don't think you can call now, then you can't call after 5th street.I would probably fold. When I first read this though, I thought it was a call situation.
