After getting schooled earlier by an aggressive bettor, I vowed to be more forceful with my hands. What do you think, he thought I had?


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (7 handed) converter

UTG ($0.52)
MP1 ($2.21)
MP2 ($4.38)
CO ($4.79)
Hero ($4.99)
SB ($3.22)
BB ($2.69)

Preflop: Hero is Button with :Qh: :Jc:
UTG calls $0.02, MP1 raises to $0.04, MP2 calls $0.04, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.04, SB calls $0.03, 1 fold, UTG calls $0.02.

Flop: ($0.22) :Ts: :Ah: (5 players)
SB checks, UTG checks, MP1 bets $0.02, MP2 calls $0.02, Hero raises to $0.1, SB folds, UTG folds, MP1 folds, MP2 calls $0.08.

Turn: ($0.44) (2 players)
MP2 checks, Hero bets $0.2, MP2 calls $0.20.

River: ($0.84) (2 players)
MP2 checks, Hero bets $0.62, MP2 raises to $1.24, Hero raises to $4.65, MP2 calls $2.80 (All-In).

Final Pot: $9.53

Results in white below:

Hero has Qh Jc (straight, queen high).
Outcome: Hero wins $9.53.

on the flop: you had a gutshot draw and he is giving you the right pot odds (11:1) to draw to it, why not just call?

turn: why did you bet behind here? are you hoping he will fold? you risk getting check raised, when you could have gotten a free card

He probably thought you had an Ace, and that he was trapping you. Not the best way for him to play bottom 2-pair, though,

thanks for the responses,

yea doggz I never said it was 'good' play I was quite on tilt at the time, had lost badly to similar play and instead of logging out like I should've, I kept going. Thanks for being honest though.

thanks wobbler, thats what I thought. I should learn to go to a play money when I'm tilting in future

Was very fired up... haha.

thanks for the pointers on the hand tho, cheers.

Well at least all your bad raising completely disguised your hand and got it paid off

You won that hand but playing poorly like that will cause you a huge loss in the long haul...

Aside from what everybody said, I hate min-raising preflop.... either bump it up to 0.10 or just call, dont min-raise.

Agreed. Especially if a raise is getting called more often than not.

Agreed, check behind for the free card.
