playing well
so had me a little cash session tonight. am pretty pleased with my play at the moment. i may not have won a stack of cash but i certainly confused the table with my now standard tight loose passive aggressive image!
that aside i did play well and got my money in at the right times which i think was backed up by winning 71% of my hands that went to showdown. i feel this has been a weakness in my game recently in i seem to be calling with the worst of it. i've actually got a hand example below that i would love to get your thoughts on. i know i shouldn't have called the raise at the end especially with both straight and flush possibilities on the board but i couldn't believe i'd f*cked it up and had to see his cards.
please have a look and all comments are welcome, where did i go wrong? i think i should have played it faster especially with the smooth call on the flop, my turn bet should have been double what it was to push out the draw, but knowing the table i was on he would have called anyway regardless of my bet size!

Hiya Seymour,i gave up trying to play cash games and prefer sng's etc so i,m not an expert but this hand you are doomed to lose!! No way is matey going to muck with the nut flush draw on the flop,you could have gone all in when you made your set and he would have called!! At the small limits we both play at the only way to get people of a hand is with a baseball bat!! At least you finished ahead in the end. gl m8
i have to agree somewhat with Smooth's comment. Even if you bet more towards pot on the turn you are still getting called - the fact he raises small ish on the river tells you he has it, as we expected, you have to pay the man. If he shoves - its an easy fold -no big deal
