I've been losing lately due to some bad tilty play combined with a string of bad luck and bad cards. Here is a hand i lost last night. So i was playing 8-handed at a local casino in Bucharest , blinds 10-10 Ron(that's right- no small blind)- 10 Ron is somewhere between 3 and 4 $. The game is pretty loose and my opponent is really fishy, playing bad hands in front of raises and chasing a lot. I had 1150 Ron and he had me covered. There was a 20 Ron straddle and i opened from early position to 100 with AKc. Villain called from middle position. Everybody folded. The flop came A86 rainbow. I bet 150 and he called. I wasn't really worried about his call as i put him on a range of A9o+ , any suited A, 66, 88, and maybe some draws. The turn is a 5. Sure the 79 got there and the A5 suited but i still think it's a value bet as i'm ahead of most of his range. So i bet 350 into a 520 pot. He calls. The river is a 2. I shove my last 550 , he calls and shows 56 suited and wins. Did i misplay my hand? Should i not have bet the turn? Or maybe i should have bet the turn smaller to be able to fold to a shove or check-fold the river?! Please give me your opinions on this hand. Thanks.

Seems fine. There's definitely value in betting and you were just unlucky to be up against the top of his range.

It's fine for 100BB stack.Your SPR is too low to fold at any point in this hand.When I play live cash and open 10x preflop,I almost always stack off with big overpairs or TPTK against 90% of live standard players.I wouldnt be surprised at all if these ppl call down 3 streets with worse ace.Next time around you will get paid!!!!

Thanks. I agree. What if i were 200bb deep or more? I think i would bet the turn for value and if i got raised i would probably fold, and if he calls the turn i would probably just check-fold on most rivers as i don't think he'd be betting worse at that point- also a blocking bet might work. Any thoughts on that?

Yeah, most of the time they do. Maniacs will even shove the flop. I've seen it all, live players are so horrid. Too bad you can only play 25 hands per hour because everyone feels the need to hollywood. Hand seems fine imo.
