i'm benneh. sorry for the unreadable format, but i dont think the hand converter works for Full Tilt. i'll try my best to make the cards readable at least.

.25/.50 limit hold em - 9 handed
Dealer: benneh posts the small blind of $0.10
Dealer: elegirl posts the big blind of $0.25
Dealer: squiglia sits down
Dealer: You have been dealt [ ]
Dealer: squiglia adds $5

Dealer: LittleJoe calls $0.25
Dealer: Monner raises to $0.50
Dealer: Zachmando folds
Dealer: benneh raises to $0.75
Dealer: elegirl folds
Dealer: ChuckSty calls $0.50
Dealer: LittleJoe raises to $1
Dealer: Monner calls $0.50
Dealer: benneh calls $0.25
Dealer: ChuckSty calls $0.25
Dealer: The flop is [ ]
Dealer: benneh bets $0.25
Dealer: ChuckSty calls $0.25
Dealer: LittleJoe calls $0.25
Dealer: Monner raises to $0.50
Dealer: benneh raises to $0.75
Dealer: Rockieman sits down
Dealer: ChuckSty calls $0.50
Dealer: LittleJoe folds
Dealer: Monner calls $0.25
Dealer: The turn is [ ]
Dealer: confused30s adds $10
Dealer: benneh bets $0.50
Dealer: ChuckSty raises to $1
Dealer: Monner calls $1
Dealer: benneh raises to $1.50
Dealer: ChuckSty calls $0.50
Dealer: Monner calls $0.50
Dealer: The river is [ ]
Dealer: benneh bets $0.50
Dealer: ChuckSty calls $0.50
Dealer: Monner calls $0.50


Final Pot $12.25

slow down on the turn? check/call the river? i guess i'm lucky they didn't keep capping with me.

I am not even sure who you are in the hand. I didn't see the result. Check raise is the best solution if you are first position. Maybe check raise on turn IMO.

izenra- in the original post he said he's benneh...and he probably didn't post results so that he could get advice from people who have to look at it the way he did.

i don't know much about limit play though, so that's all i'm saying here.

When you get raised on the turn, definitely time to fold or call down. Top pair second kicker isnt that strong, most people wont be raise the turn without at least two pair.

i didnt post results because i didnt want anyone to make biased judgements about my play based on if i won or lost.

yea. i definitly should have just check/called the turn i think. it must have totally left my head that betting was capped PF. but still, on the flop, top pair with queen kicker and a nut flush draw: is capping here a smart move? is the nut flush gona hit enough to justify it? or do I play it like any other flush draw at this point.

I thought you had lost the hand and said you were happy they didn't cap.

You had a good hand IMO
I would've push has much as I can on flop & turn.

You are probably beat at river. but you just have to call. Pot odd.

my 2 cents.

Your flop play is good.

Turn: Check/Call, see if you can hit the club

River: Check/Call...you are probably beat, but you have the odds

Definitely do not bet out out the river, you have a good chance of getting raised, meaning you will ahve put in 2 bets on the river.

OK again Iz, read the damn post, its LIMIT, you should be able to figure that out just from the action. Dont think every body would min raise EVERY time....

OK Cap this flop liek beav said. I'm undecided about the turn raise, but it turned out ok, since apparently none of them hit a set or straight, else they should have capped. You defiantly have plaurality equity throughout the hand, so raising most of the way is good. If you think you are still ahead here on the river, then might as well bet as you did. Really depends on what Chucky has done in the past, if you have a read on his play. If you think you may be beat, then check/call this river, as At said, your gonan get raised and commit more bets.

I'm goign to have to guess you lost to Chuks 9To two pair.

I think a lot of the guys here play much higher limits, IMO you played it just fine. Though you make it pretty obvious that you lost the hand, I don't see anything wrong. Most of the time here your top pair second kicker is good, and even if not you have nine outs to the nut flush, and another three outs for top two pair (which should be good since it doesn't look like anyone has a set).
