Beginner Limit Hold'em Poker Forums

Hi. I am new to limit hold'em, so I would love someone to give a brief explanation of what in the hell happened in the following ridiculous hand. Feel free to berate me for playing horribly as well.

10-handed limit hold'em
SB posts 1, Hero posts 2 (Hero has $10)
UTG opens for a raise and gets 7 callers
Hero looks at AJ and raises. Everyone calls.
Flop is 5 9 T (Pot = $43)
SB checks, Hero checks intending to call. Everyone checks.
Turn is 5 (Pot = $43)
SB checks, Hero bets intending to call.
5 players call including UTG and SB
River is 2 (Pot = $67)
SB checks, Hero goes all-in for $2. UTG calls. Everyone else folds.
Hero shows ace jack high. UTG shows ace jack high to chop.

its unclear what position your in right now? are you in the bb? regardless. I'm betting the shit out of that flop. Being that short stacked I'd probably just jam any flop or turn given an opportunity with the equity our hand has.

Any reason you are playing so short stacked? No matter what your stack bet the freakin flop! That's a great flop for your hand, why would you re-raise pre (which was good) and then check that flop when you basically hit it pretty good? The short stack only makes it easier so you can just happily jam the rest of your money in. On the river what were you hoping to accomplish? I think its probably better to check and call depending on the action but with one BB left in your stack it doesn't matter much which goes back to why are you short stacked to begin with.

Judging by how your opponents played pre and post flop, looks like a very good game.
