 What should I have done differently?
I've been playing poker for awhile, but like everyone, I'm still learning day by day. I had 9c8s in the small blind, and no one raised, so I called for the heck of it. Maybe that was my first mistake. The flop came 9 6 5, with two diamonds. I bet out.. I had top pair, and I figured if I just checked and someone bet, I wouldn't know what I was up against. But no one raised, just called. I figured I was against either flush draws, straight draws, or other weak pairs.
A jack hit on the turn that wasn't a diamond. I get out again, bigger this time, and again, just calls. No raises.
A six of hearts hit on the river. It paired the board, but there was no flush or straight possible. I figured the draws would drop out now, but I was worried that someone might have been flat calling with seocnd pair and got lucky and hit a set on the river. I know I should have checked here and folded when my opponent bet, but instead, I bet out again. And again, just a flat call ( I had driven out the other two by now ). He turned up AJ, and I lost the pot.
Anyways, here's the actual hand history, so you guys can see the specifics. Any feedback is welcome, so I can try to avoid hands like this in the future.
