    Default Bad move?

    Micro limit game...
    .10\.20 NL Holdem


    OK im BB with 22 everyone folds except for the button and small blind, so i check

    FLop is 9 10 Q rainbow
    checked all around

    Turn is a 2

    SB bets 80 cents, I raise it to 2.40
    he smooth calls

    He goes all in on the river
    and i call, turns out he flopped a straight..


    was this a bad call?
    i didnt put him on a set because i know he wouldn't have checked the flop, with 2 pair either..
    i didn't see 3 to a straight on the board
    i thought he might have hit 2 pair ...

    was this a very bad play or did i just get my butt slowplayed like a yucalali (sp?))

    I think your right to raise the turn to find out where you are, but when he pushes the river its a fold for me.

    I'l often check a rainbow flop with a set lookin for someone to bet into me. Its not a bad play imo.

    Looking at the board when he AIs, I find it hard to see what he's gonna pull a move like this with that dosen't have you beat.

    He probably would have flop bet 2 pair.
    He wouldn't call your turn raise with a pair. or check the flop for that matter.

    He could have a set, which will be higher then yours.
    Or he could have the straight.

    So there is only two options, both of which beat you.

    Tough fold though.

    I think it's ukelele.

    If this is the worst call you ever make playing poker, you'll be in great shape. Just because people shouldn't slow play two pair on a board like that doesn't mean they won't. Also he could have made two pair on the river. At these limits someone slow playing TP wouldn't surprise me.

    i didn't see 3 to a straight on the board
    This is the only thing that worries me - you should always know the nuts. Practice reading the board, it will save you money.

    yeah this is one of the worst..

    thanks for your comments..
    and yeah now that i think about it.. well i dreamt about it.. i should have seen that the only way he would make that move was if he ahd me beat.. i think he had me read for a set

    hows this one:

    same limits (.10\.20)

    i have AKs
    he has AA

    raised to 4x BB preflop, i am UTG, he is button

    Flop is Ac Kc Js

    i raise to $2.50
    he reraises all-in (6.50 on top)

    i end up calling

    i think this was a bad call.. but peer pressure kind of made me go in to it .. "you can't fold that".

    i just wanted your opinions on what you guys would have done.. keep in mind that this guy plays like a semi maniac.. by that i mean he calls with alot of hands with big raises on them
