Chuck – I am not going to disagree with you, I appreciate the feedback and I agree that I played poorly. looking back on the hand I would have still raised to $10 PF just to build a pot if I hit – maybe in the future if I’m going to do that I raise to $15/20+. I knew I’d get many callers. If I hit I had enough in front of me to scare off anyone else who hit (so I thought). I absolutely should have bet more on the flop and raised more on the turn but I was greedy pure and simple. I did not see any way I could get outdrawn with that flop and if it was set over set I’m going broke anyway. In any event, I did get outdrawn, UTG turns over J7 for a higher FH. Button didn’t show.
So even though I played too weakly UTG had 4 outs on the turn. To his credit he did have the best hand when he got MOST of his $$ in. There was no way I could fold a FH though, and maybe with top 2 pair he wasn’t going anywhere even if I did push on the turn. Live and learn.
