Preflop: With a calling station limping in and another limper, is it acceptable to limp offsuit connectors pre-flop with position?
Does a calling station alter the acceptability to limp pre-flop with marginal hands, or does the expected value not change much?
Flop: Definitely a margin of error deciding to slow play. This has been a keen hand in reminding me about protection.
Turn: Not the prettiest card in the pack. I thought I would raise to find out if I am against a fullhouse, but because of the value in sets that will call.
River: Looking at the end result, guess I couldn't have played that any better?
