Played good position?

[LCSelfMade]

Poker hand played on PokerStars with a pot size of $80 - Pokerhand.org

I first noticed that pre flop ever body limped into it. I am in late position next to dealer. Then I notice it checks all the way around to me post flop so I decide to bet and see if I could get any one to fold with KJo in my hand. Good play and am I getting the concept of using position to my advantage?

Yeah good play in that position with all the checks......Only problem I have with it is ....why show?...Never give away bluffs....

i'd like to know why you showed also. what would you of done if limper reraised you after your bet?

[LCSelfMade]

I showed? Didnt even know I did..

Yea i think that was a good play also, everybody checks so u gotta make ur move.

Why limp pre ?

[Assistanc3]

said that he mucked and showed actually

with blinds at 10/20 ( was this like the 3rd hand of the tournament) nothing to wrong with limping this early. Might as-well try to get lucky early.

I don't think there is anything wrong with limping either here... K-J looks alot better than it really is. And the way I think about it, why risk anything more than the BB early in a game with such a marginal hand? I wouldn't want to end up second best to a better hand, and lose a whole bunch with K-J off... Just my humble opinion. It was a good play to bet, and take it down here. That is what position is all about. Just beware of check/calls when bluffing. People love to trap. Peace.
