Falling asleep during a hand

Fully deserved, should have backed off this at the turn, that what chatting and playing poker does. In fairness i gave him credit for a big ace pre flop.

Why would he (Andres_98) raise with 6, 5 unsuited? He was lucky he flopped a nut straight. I wonder if he would have chased straight draw? I thought for sure somebody had an 8 or a 4 when I was reading this.

Tough hand.

Raise more preflop. Why are you only betting $1 post flop??? This is a HUGE mistake. 95% of the time you are WAY ahead here and cheap cards hurt you. So what, this time he flopped the straight, if he had flopped an open-ended draw, you weak $1 bet gives him amazing odds to catch up and hit.

His min-raise on the flop doesn't mean that much as a lot of players do this with hands like A8, K8, 99-JJ, etc.

Again, your turn bet is WAY too small. His min-raise on the turn tells you something now and you need to consider possible hand. A4 is an option or of course 65. I hate your turn min re-raise...this play is just bad.

Chicubs i capped the betting the WHOLE way, it was a $1-$2 limit game.
Nothing much more i could have done, it was expensive as it gets for him to play.

Err, ever hear of limit holdem?

(sorry, couldn't resist that)

After the capped flop I check/call this down, more in fear of a set than the straight.
