First time in casino!
Hi, This weekend I went to Calgary for Halloween and to visit my friends. no one cares about that you care about the poker!
I was very excited to play, been waiting for a very long time. I bought into a 1/2 NL, 9 handed game (me making it 10) with $100. Sat down and everyone looked at me and I could tell they were smirking and just dreaming of how easy it would be to get my chips. Fresh meat.
lost 2 blinds before playing my first hand in late position. Had ace rag and raised to 10 bucks. everyone folded except for the deepstack, who in my opinion was the best player at the table, from watching him for about 20 mins. flop came and he checked to me. I bet 15 bucks and he threw his hand out. First pot ever! tried to steal the blinds once more in the next ten minutes, but folded on the flop. Here is my story. Maybe you could pick it apart for me and tell me what I could have done better.

cool story
Just my opinions on the matter haha
i didnt want to say it and bust the kids courage...thanks phil lol
IMO, the re-raise pre is horrible given that we are getting 40% of our stack in with a spot where we are flipping or a 4/1 dog, and unless we hit our set we are rarely going to be confident come the river.
As for the hit and run, it is horrible etiquette. I know they are your chips and you can do as you please with them and, if this hand was any example of your play, the chips would've most likely donated it back to the table....but yeah, it was just bad.
You have to think that the 4 callers behind are calling pretty light and practically every over-pair is out of their range. There might be a 99,1010, but by then, you are repping a bigger overpair and you'd get those to fold. Then the initial raiser, I'm guessing range is pretty wide and he is playing the big stack, so you are getting huge equity by pushing.
Yes. Only one person called his initial raise. A push would of took it.
If he gets 2 or more callers he probably doesn't win. One of them most likely will have one of the overcards that hit the flop.
IMO, the only good thing that came from his PF raise was he thinned out the field by getting rid of the limpers and getting it heads up in a flip.
