    Default playing limit?

    decided to play some 1/2 limit on party

    this hand came up. im wondering if i played it properly?

    Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (10 handed) CP hand converter

    Preflop: Hero is MP2 with , .
    1 fold, UTG+1 raises, UTG+2 calls, 1 fold, Hero calls, 4 folds, BB calls.

    Flop: (8.50 SB) , , (4 players)
    BB checks, UTG+1 bets, UTG+2 calls, Hero raises, BB calls, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls.

    Turn: (8.25 BB) (4 players)
    BB checks, UTG+1 checks, UTG+2 bets, Hero raises, BB folds, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 3-bets, Hero calls.

    River: (14.25 BB) (2 players)
    UTG+2 bets, Hero calls.

    Final Pot: 16.25 BB

    my reasoning
    pf: i dont really know why i just called, it seemed like the best play. should i have raised? i know i would have raised with any stronger hand, jacks seem to be borderline. i know i dont raise 10's
    flop: obviously ive flopped the nuts, there is nothing i can do here right except for get the most possible bets in?
    turn: i HATE this card. this is where i think i misplayed. i would say its pretty obvious he hit the straight, but he could have had alot of other hands. at the time i was raising for value, maybe i shouldnt have?
    river: i didnt hit a boat but obviously im not going to fold, i beat all sets, 2 pairs, etc etc.

    did i go wrong anywhere?

    edit: oomfg im so good at poker OMFG

    how was this? i thought i played this decent. do you all lead out here, checkraise, check call? we have a great hand on the flop. turn and river i thought were fine.

    So what did he have?
    Lots of good rakeback options at http://www.rakeguard.com/?raf=KRE8R

    KRE8R probably has about seventy college funds in his NL5 roll.

    You played it fine. WHAT DID HE HAVE?


    Looking back at it I probably would have called down after the K came.

    PF I would've 3 bet, I don't like cold calling PF raises, here you have the opportunity to drive people out behind you and hopefully the blinds, plus you're ahead of everything except 3 hands. Which if it is QQ-AA it'll probably get capped PF, and you might have a little more info available.

    Most of the time the BB will call for one more bet to a PF raiser (especially if there's a cold caller or 2 behind the raiser) but 2 bets is a tougher call which hopefull eliminates another player. Otherwise I think the rest of the hand played out pretty good.

    Hand 1

    You should be 3 betting PF to isolate on the button. Knock the blinds off their hands. Otherwise, beautiful.

    Hand 2

    You need to keep firing bullets on the turn. I'd go for the CR on the flop, so you can lead the turn and minimize the chance of a raise on the expensive street. You want to be aggressive for value as well as to block and insure action when you hit the river.

    Play the hand as I say and you don't have to CR the river on a heart or King. No one's put you on a flush draw or carrying a King. You'll get raisied and you can 3 bet with the best hand and get the action you want.

    #1; 3bet preflop. Cap the turn for value and call the river if he bets out again.

    #2; You played it okey, I would probably have bet out on the turn too though.

    Ding ding ding! I love a good limit thread but there is no reason for me to post because as usual Alex nailed the analysis. Although with as many players as there are in the second hand I would have bet out on the flop instead if checkraised most of the time, the CR does protect your top pair best but since you would expect the bet from late position with this flop, you could just bet out and play for a volume pot. Either way is reasonable. But clealy bet the turn either way.

    The cold call preflop with JJ is awful. Make sure you understand why. This is not NL where you can stack someone with a set.
