Hi everyone! This is my first post here, I'm looking forward to improving my game with all of you. Here's a hand I think I blew last night:
bodog Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (9 handed)
Hero (UTG+3) ($6.52)<br>
Button ($7.04)<br>
<br>
<b>Preflop</b>: Hero is UTG+3 with Q<img src="http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerforum/images/smilies/heart.gif">, Q<img src="http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerforum/images/smilies/diamond.gif"><br>

<br>
<b>Flop</b>: 3<img src="http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerforum/images/smilies/diamond.gif">, 2<img src="http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerforum/images/smilies/diamond.gif">, 6<img src="http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerforum/images/smilies/diamond.gif"> <font color=#009B00>(3 players)</font><br>

<b>Turn</b>: ($10.75) 4 <img src="http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerforum/images/smilies/club.gif"> <font color=#009B00>(2 players)</font><br>

<b>Total pot:</b> $7.53 <b>| Rake:</b> $0.37<br>
Preflop, I raise my standard 4BB. On the flop, I also bet my standard 1/2 pot c-bet. When the button calls, I don't gain much info. It's likely he just thinks I'm bluffing given my initial raise and he could be calling with almost anything. If he had flopped a straight, he probably would have raised me. But with the 4 on the turn, he might have one now. From there, I decided to just check for pot control and call whatever he would throw at me as long as the bets were not too large. I feel that I should have played this more aggressively on the flop and maybe bet something larger than the pot. What do you guys think?
