I felt like a spade was the only thing that would help me because I believed him his trips, so even if a king or an ace comes at the river I’d still have to fold.

Hand #32475353-95 Summary:

mtollin wins 1275.

Overpair vs 3 clubs on the board, was the fold ok? Im really not sure, another club would
have given me a queen high flush, and now that I look at it again I kinda feel like he wouldn’t
have bet 1275 if at that point he already made a flush.
Lets assume he only had one club and was drawing to the nut flush holding Ac, would a call have been correct?


HAND3:
This hand is really embarrasing. Good example of what happens when you don’t look at the board texture I guess. I feel like an idiot for playing like this, if I had looked at the board
for 3 seconds instead of only seeing my own straight, I would have noticed that anyone holding a 6 has me beat…

Hand 1: easy fold

Hand 2: raise

Hand 3: sucky position, I probably raise over the smallstack push to weed out the other guys that might be drawing without anything solid yet.

Hand 2 - Your first mistake was the min-raise preflop, esspecially after a limper. I would have bumped it up to around 550-600. Secondly I am raising here.

Hand 3 - I'm probably folding preflop, and I am definitely folding to the push. If I play A5 it isn't for TPTK. The flop call isn't that bad, but do nooooooooot call this turn. A very scary card hit the turn, I'm check.folding here.

Well, 5-high flops don't happen too often anyway

See, this is a bit weird. You have tp and a gutshot which can improve your hand. You call, hit your gutshot, and now you're folding? That's kinda like.. why did you call in the first place? If you're gonna fold there, you should have folded earlier. Ofcourse it's a scary board but you should have made that decision one street earlier.. and this is also why imo you should raise the flop. If they want to draw, make em pay.

lol I forgot he has an A in his hand.... thought he was still on a lone pair of 5s.

Thats the thing, if I had realised while playing that anyone holding a 6 has my straight beat I would have folded to his aggression. But sometimes when I make my hand, instead of looking at the board texture and what other people might have, I only concentrate on how to play my hand.
Really have to change that, if it happens it costs soo much...having the second best hand kills me way to often. Then later when I look at the HH its so painfully obvious..

If his bet would have been lower I would have raised, but his 1200 bet or what it was did kinda scare me because his stack was close to mine and I didnt really want to risk getting all in with this hand.
But this hand was really hard for me to decide...

Thanks for pointing this out, I didnt even see I was minraising here...I have no clue why to be honest, usually I would raise 3-4xbb.
