    Default Did I play this to weak?

    Seat 2: Good Paw (3180 in chips)
    Seat 3: hard_hooker (1265 in chips) - ME
    Seat 4: fldnstein (1895 in chips)
    Good Paw: posts small blind 15
    hard_hooker: posts big blind 30
    *** HOLE CARDS ***
    Dealt to hard_hooker [JavaScript Ah]
    fldnstein: folds
    moovin on up: folds
    Good Paw: calls 15
    hard_hooker: raises 90 to 120
    Good Paw: calls 90
    *** FLOP *** [6h 8c 8h]
    Good Paw: checks
    hard_hooker: bets 150
    Good Paw: raises 270 to 420
    hard_hooker: folds
    Good Paw collected 540 from pot
    Good Paw: doesn't show hand
    *** SUMMARY ***
    Total pot 540 | Rake 0


    Did I play this hand totally wrong?

    Standard play. Raised when the sb completed, continuation bet the flop when checked to. Nothing wrong with it.

    Do the amounts I raised seem OK? With the blinds at 15/30 I can't see raising anymore.

    His post flop check raise seemed like a steal attempt however I still had some chips so folding was OK.

    What % of the time do you put in the continuation bet. I seem to do it ALL the time and late in tourneys I get check raised a lot. Is there a optimal % for continuation bets?

    Check raises as a bluff are a very expensive bluff when you get busted, however its possible because he's CL bullying you as the short stack and using his tight table image.

    I'd say he was looking to limp with reasonably high pockets against you, recognised the cbet and pushed you out.

    Dan harrington suggests using cbets around 70% of the time if i recall correctly.

    played it fine IMHO.
    This guy must have a really aggressive image for me to continue in that hand by calling or raising.

    The raise amunt is OK.
    You dont want to raise more than 3-4 BB here. You have position on him, a pretty good hand, you should be willing to play a pot with him.

    KJ
