This spot sucked because it was a limped pot w/ no info on my opponent. I felt like I was ahead, but his range is so big as an unknown. I finally hesitantly called just before I timed out (cake sucks w/ no time bank).
I just don't think I like this call in retrospect because I'm basically just hoping he has a flush draw. I don't have pokerstove at work, but if anybody wants to run some #'s that would be cool.

he's a short stack, he can have K4. this is fine imo.
also, raise preflop

This used to be my default play. But, on a new table with no reads, I think it is better to just check and see a flop oop. I realize I most likely have the best hand preflop, so I can raise for value, but I don't see the point in building a pot oop against a full table of unknowns. I'm happier just to check and easily dump the hand if I wiff.

fair enough. everyone in the pot is short stacked too. (edit: finding a new table is probs a good idea, unless one of the full stacks is a donk ldo)

I think this hand is well played.
