When he bet that flop, I think unconsciously, without realizing it, I had decided I want to win this hand regardless of what he or I have. I'm pretty smart like that. I wasn't sure about playing AQo from MP2 but if I was going to play it, I likely should of raised to gauge the strength of my opponent's hand right? And now that I think about it, I don't even think I ever thought about what my opponent had, I just thought how to win the hand ha ha ha (deeply disturbed inside). |
you don't have to win every hand. Sometimees your pretty cards will cost you big.Like this one.

To win the hand, I was trying to represent the flush draw by reraising him on the turn. If he didn't have a spade in his hand, do you think I could of won with that value bet?

read the articles on position. What does an UTG raiser mean? You don't need to bluff at 2NL , By the turnwhat are you hoping for?If you're tryingto get him to fold the bet isn't big enough.and if he calls where is that going to leave you?. 8x has you crushed Aand queen of spades are probably no use to you.Let it go and find a better spot.
If you are going to stab at the river 10cents is probably enough , if he doesnt have a spade he has to fold and if he does you're beaten and lose less or fold to a raise.

After losing that, I didn't tilt like I usually do. Today I was on a good, even keel. Yesterday when I was lost I was like, damnit, I'm gonna play a lot of hands and be aggressive and win my money back! But this time, losing brought me into focus. I remained conservative and waited for position or hands.

I didn't have any read on the opponents from previous hands and, yet again, ugh, I completely forget to consider what position they were calling/raising/betting at preflop. I mean, shouldn't I have put the BB on two pair or a set? That's what I was thinking while was I calling the all-in lol. I was thinking: "He could have a set. He could have two pair. He might have me beat....man, F$%^ THAT, I got Kings mother f#$%er!! I'll pay just so I can see your set you #@$%ing dick."
Clearly the thoughts of a poker prodigy on his game. I know I need to change that mindset but how bad or good was my call?

bet larger Pre , you have a monster but you min raised. Don't just hit the raise button increase the bet size then hit raise.As it is you are making it cheap for Ax hands to call and see the flopand ideally you want to get all your money in against one guy.You're out of position so I'd probably make it 20-24 to go. Let someone with a decent hand call that is likely to go all the way , rather than some cheapsters calling with anything and flopping 2 pair.
If you're going to check raise you've got to make it larger to make it a mistake for the flush draws to call you.Theres a chance that either BB or MP2 has a set but I'd probably just shove. As played it looks horrible facing the reraise all in.has he got the set ? has he got nut flush draw, has he got Qx of clubs or even AcA.Ih you had a HUD and could see his stats and hes a nit , I fold if hes a 80/60 i call otherwise its just a shitty spot to be in.
