What are you looking to hit here on the flop before you'll bet? AQQ? AQx? You hit your freaking ace, put some money in there. Knock people off of their draws. Make AQ wonder if YOU have AK. IF he plays hard back at you then you're going to have to go on your instincts there...And THAT is when reads become important. You didn't do anything here to "get a read" in the first place. You sat back and said, "OMG HE BET IT I'M BEAT," and walked away from the hand. Ever heard of anything called a continuation bet?

You played this hand scared from the get-go. If you're going to play scared then you deserve to lose money. These guys could have had ANYTHING, and you're sitting there going, "OMG WHAT IF HE HAS AK OR AJ?"

FOLD to the raise preflop if you're going to play it like this postflop.

I dont like re-raising people PF if they havent been aggros, then I want to slow them down a bit. If they are willing to chase without the odds, good for us. Then we make money. If they fold, that is ok too.

You played it strongly after the flop. You cant blaim yourself for this guy chasing like crazy, even though he had 12 outs here which makes this about 55/45 to you.

I would be more worried for paying of 2 pair or such here with just TPGK for almost a buy-in.

I read the hand history a little wrong for starters, but still...

I dunno, the way I see his $1.50 raise on the flop is a blocking bet, a bet that says "hey, I'm drawing"...Jack it up and make him pay for his draw.

Some idiots you can't take off of their draws, and this seems to be one of them...but he made it $6 more to go in what was a then a $12 pot or so. Half-pot bets just won't do it, if you think you're good, 3/4 or full-pot it, is what me thinks.

Yes, reraising preflop would have been nice too...Either way, this is a bad beat. At all levels you're going to run into people like this. It sucks, move on, next hand...get your money back from him later when he misses his draw.

Rippy, the guy who won had two pair and a flush draw. Even if he's down he has 17 outs!

I think a re-evaluation on the turn is necessary here. You raise the flop HARD. He smooth calls and then leads out the turn for $12. At this point you have to believe he has one pair beat. A draw stall bet isn't this meaty.

I seriously consider folding the turn here to any player I respect at all.

It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

I could be missing something, but this guy has two pair and a flush draw. Why is this a bad move?

Fnord is an unknown quantity at this point

Without a read on the raiser's range, this is a routine pre-flop fold. We are out of position and have a hand that's often going to be second best if we go to the felt.

That's kinda what I was thinking.

I'm not bothered about his play...I'm bothered about MY play.

My push was based on the extra outs for the nut flush draw if he called (anyone actually see this btw)?- this, and the likelylihood of 2 clean Q outs and 1 ace out if I was behind. If I was to continue in the hand, which would have been difficult not to considering he appeared to be drawing- I think I needed the extra FE by leading out on the turn? Or No?

I agree with Fnord's assessment I should have folded preflop OOP but a top 10 hand seemed good compared to some extremely cold cards I had been getting.

Thanks for the responses
