How many errors did I commit with AQo?
My hindsight has figured out multiple "errors" that occurred with my play. However, for the sake of getting an education, I'll post as objectively as possible (along with what I was thinking AT THE TIME I made each decision). Thank you very much in advance for your constructive feedback.
$2/$5 NL. Live, 9-handed. The button straddled to $10. SB folded. I am in BB with . My stack is ~$340. I felt uncomfortable in this position because the table has had a loose/LAG feel the past 10-15 hands (meaning multiple limps, someone raises 5-8x, multiple callers). I feel afraid that if I raise, get multiple callers then don't hit the flop, then I'm creating a low SPR and that I will be afraid to commit. So I call $10. Multiple callers behind (six in total). Preflop pre-rake pot $60.
Flop:
My SPR is ~6-7. I hadn't shown strength preflop so I decide I'm not committed, and will evaluate action behind me and try to draw to nut flush. I check. So does everyone else.
Turn:
I suppose I could have bet here, but prefer to keep the pot smaller if I can. I check. Again, so does everyone else.
River:
I have hit the nut flush. I'm thinking about how much to bet. Villain, he is one seat to my left (has me covered, stack = ~$625, seems like a tight-passive player, but really I don't have a reliable sample of reads to know for sure) - he acts out of turn. He fires a bet of what looked like $50. The card dealer stops him. I tell the table "I was just thinking". I decide to check (rationale: I'm hoping he's betting trips or a lower flush). All else fold to me. I check-raise to $120. He thinks for about 15 seconds, then says "alright, if you've got it, you've got it. I'm all-in." I'm frustrated as ever. The speech! Now I don't feel so good about my nut flush. I thought for a while. I say out loud: "I have overcommitted myself." I call. Villain flips over . Sigh.
Please dissect away. I am mostly interested in your comments on where my rationales may be faulty. Thanks again.
