Hi all,

How did I play this hand? Should I be raising the turn?

Thanks

What is your reasoning for leading river?

Hmm well when he limps and raises this flop i'm putting him on a marginal hand like 53, 56, A3, A5, Tx. With the way he played the hand, on the river I can't see any Q in his range except for QT but i doubt that would limp in. Obviously T4 and T2 are possilities but wanted to put pressure on any Tx by leading the river.

Sure my thought process is wrong so advice would be appreciated.

Heads up they can limp with anything trying to trap but it really depends on your opponents tendencies.

I've been facing lots of aggressive/maniac opponents at $1.50 and $3.50 sng that just shove the river like non sense and I just want to avoid having to make a decision with 2nd pair.

Your OOP i would shove the turn

If you were in position its tricky but I'd rather scoop the pot on the turn and be ahead then face a possible shove on river with a scare card.
