    Default it continues, 2 hands...

    well, in the spirit of my bad run heres a hand, i know what your saying all in on a flush bluff is a bad idea. I put him on ace 10, maybe ace 9, no pre flop raise, i was trying to implore marm's strategy here. The big bet post flop is to get the flush chasers out, prob shoudl of made it 400 or 450.

    Hand 1: Limp and go Does not mean limp everything. You need to raise this PF. Any particular reason to push all-in when the ONLY hands that call here, beat you?

    Hand 2: Now you're got it backwards. With a limper already in, theres no point in raising. And why the fuck did you call that all-in?

    h1: maybe raise preflop. bet all streets. no reason to suspect hes beating you on flop.

    h2; pf; limp or raise i dont really care. how can you call flop? shortstack all in like that means he prolly has better than A high. i fold flop

    Marm's got it right.

    You also seem to have fallen into the trap of justifying your own play incorrectly yet criticising the play of others as wrong. ie you're happy with raising 88 but don't think the other guy should stay in with QT (when actually he's getting pretty good odds).

    If a player is willing to limp with QTs when he's only got an M of 20 (20 big bets in theis case), then he's probably the type to call a raise with it too.

    Let's ignore the other players at the table. You are trying to push the blame onto the other players for their bad play. their bad play is a good thing. It's your bad play which is the bad thing.

    You limp/opened with a strong hand, yet you raised a limper with a subpar hand. Lets ignore the rest of the hands until you understand these two MAJOR errors.

    so 8's late, no good, but ace jack suited rasie, how big of a raise, there are a few hands that could of beat me preflop. AQ AK or am i over analyzing to much

    not true. Think about where a mid-pair's strength lies. You have somebody, with not a huge stack, who limped early. this means He is interested in his hand, and probably not willing to fold to a 'decent' raise. You also have a few players behind you yet to act, and could reraise it. You are looking to flop a set or an overpair to the flop. Now if you were the first to open the pot from LP, I think this raise is perfect. A hands value is very dynamic, and is relative to the dozens (hundreds?) of variables that make up a hand.

    About the size you did with your 8's is fine, usually 3-5 bb's, but you shoudl have a feel for what is 'normal' for each table you play on. Sometimes a 1-2 bb raise will take most post, sometimes 8-10. But usually 3-5 is plenty good. It doesn't leave you committed, and you usually put yourself up against hands that aren't very live. Meaning: 78s, 55, etc will usually fold to an EP raise, leaving only mid-big pairs and other aces. With AJs, a tricky hand, you really don't want to get into a big battle with a Ace on the flop, so taking down the pot PF is a fine solution.
