I'm new to poker and I know I played this badly but need advice as to exactly where this hand went wrong and how to improve based on this play... I played a session roughly breaking even and this hand was my biggest beat...
I'm in co.. With 7s ts
Utg raises 3bb
Everyone folds, I call
Flop (Js Qs 5h)
He bets half pot, I put him on jacks or Queens and I call with a drawing hand
The turn is Jh
At this point he bets another half pot... My thought process went something like.. Maybe he has a Q, can I represent a J for a set by betting here, I didn't bet the flop because a q beats my J but now I'm ahead, will he fold to a bet?... I double his bet and he calls my bluff....
River card 10c
He had (K A)
He made his straight on the river bet big I called without thinking and lost.
Question is if I bet bigger on the turn should he have folded? Should he have folded anyway given the odds or should I have folded... I know I should have folded to a big bet on the river but I didn't think at the time.
How would you have played this hand? Could I have won or should I have folded earlier.
