Another hand from this morning session. Ive got postion and suited connectors, felt like a good time to play and i hit two pair again. Decide to call the half pot raise to see a turn. Lucky me i make a full house. I go on to win the pot.

Once the hand has finnished I get bashed in the chat box being called a donkey for calling the 3x raise with what im holding. 
Now if i had missed the flop im ready to bin these cards but on this day i hit and it all works out well. 

It seems the more i win the more abuse i get *sigh*

    Calling pre is fine. I prefer a raise on the flop or the turn but you managed to get the money accross the line and called anyway so it worked out well. Just ignore any abusive chat you get when you win a hand, if you have lucked into a win be aware of that and try not to repeat the mistake, but in this case its fine and laugh at the guy who commited his entire stack with ace high into to opponants ;)

    Think you need some work on your hand selection Preflop, I have posted on your other hand when you opened K8 UTG now your calling with 54 Suited , Yes you have position but again in the long run think this will be a loosing play if all you intend to do is give up on flops that dont contain any 5s4s or hearts, Are you going to be happy getting the money in with a 5high flush?. Can understand balancing our range when we move up levels but a 4NL think you need to tighten up PF and play a stronger range, dont worry about been exploited at these levels as it dosn't happen!

    calling pre is fine. prefer a raise on the flop but as said you managed to get your money in. Cant quite make out but out of curiousity, who was all in on the turn? AK or QQ
