Trouble hand

[acalculator]

This hand got me into trouble, if any good players can give me insight on what I did wrong, I would greatly appreciate it. I was originally trying to steel the blinds but I did have a middle pair so it wasn't a terrible hand. I had resently arrived at the table so I didn't have a great read on Crazy but from what I saw he was not a loose player. Thanks, here it is

NEVER miniraise. You're in late position with a good, not great hand and zero action before you. You should have made it at least 3x the big blind. You might have just gotten a small pot but its better than losing a big pot. I like your raise on the flop becuase it will tell you where your opponent stands. In this case, it's clear he has Ace something. I would fold right there.

wow... ummm....

I'm not sure where to start on this - I don't mean to be rude or insulting, but this was a terribly played hand.

PF - middle pair, no action in front of you, on the button. If you're in, raise 4xBB (600), not a minraise. you're asking for callers by minraising, and you don't want a caller. Your minraise looks weak, and the BB is perfectly justified in re-raising you on that weakness if he has an A or even a K. Either make the big raise, or limp and play for set-value or a low board.

Flop. An A comes off and your opponent bets. you've got 9's. What do you think he's betting with? I thnk you have to fold, or at most flat call here. You raise (3x his bet, which is good if you decide to raise here, although I don't know why you raise), he re-raises. Fold now, please?

His Bet on the flop is either an Ace or two hearts - and the re-raise, in my mind, tells me it's not two hearts.

You got the info on flop, he has the ace, fold the 99s. Theyre worth nothing. a pocket pair looks good but isnt worth much in this situation. And why call 750 on flop and fold to a 900 turn bet.

I think you simply got caught up in betting and didnt take time to think it through. It happens to me a lot.

NEVER miniraise.

Dude, it's limit holdem................. oh wait it isn't omg

- Raise more preflop
- Fold to the flop 3-bet

great advice here for the next time your in a similar situation.
there's nothing for me to add here except to say hello and welcome to CC, trust me whan I say that your game will improve, provided you take the advice you find on this forum, keep posting HH and good-luck at the tables.

ok

like everyone said raise more preflop.

on the flop it isn't a instant fold because his bet is very small in relation to the pot but I don't like raising him here. You are only going to get called if he has you beat. Sure he could be raising with something like JJ-KK and might fold to a re-raise but I doubt he is betting here with JJ-kk with you raising preflop.

He most likely has a ace....most likely a weak one like AT or AJ, A2 is also big chance and he just hit wheel.

Thanks guys for the advise. Greatly appreciated. Zebranky, thanks for being brutally honest that's what I need, and thanks shinedown for the welcome.

I'll add

- Don't raise a preflop reraiser with an ace on the board
