saved some $$
so i used to find myself going busto in this type of situation but at least this time i saved some chips. maybe not the perfect way to play but i resisted the urge to bet on the river even though i had been trapping...something i am proud of.

Raise preflop
Raise flop
Turn and river look fine to me as played.
i disagree. if i had raised all those streets i would have lost a lot of money
billylean That's result-oriented thinking. You don't really want to think like that. Serious players think in terms of EV. Here checking preflop is a clear mistake. Your holding both wants to make the pot bigger as it has an equity advantage against any limping range, plus folding out some overcards is also valuable. On the flop you have a nutted hand and the SPR is very low, so you really want to build the pot.

Do you remember the reasons I mentioned for betting/raising in the other thread?
This is a spot where we want to deny equity preflop. If we play strong hands passively we offer other players the opportunity to realize equity with all kind of worse hands. I mean: basically 78s had to invest 1BB to crack up your 99.
OTF we will have the best hand in 99% of the cases and so we want to get paid for this fact (ie getting value from worse hands).
You will have to handle in this game that you make correct decisions all the time and still loose big pots.
Thats just the nature of poker. But you should learn (and accept) in which scenarios it is simply correct to put a lot of money into the pot (even though you still will loose them from time to time).
HAPPY NEW YEAR btw
cheers guys
Not sure what to say here. Pre is meh.
Flop is 100% check raise, I would go big too. We have to price out draws, our hand is vulnerable.
Turn I would bet big again after check raising.
