Blinds: 25/50 Effective Stack: Villain w/ 10k
Folds around to me in UTG+3, I raise to 200 (a little larger than the avg table raise) with AKo hoping to get the BTN (a lag player, loves chasing) to call. the button calls and the blinds fold.
Flop: 25Jr
I c-bet 250 and she calls. I think this is pretty standard although the J does scare me a bit with some of her J combo hands, but I still think I am ahead.
Turn: 6
Action goes check-check. Once she checks the turn I know she doesn't have a J. This is the street I think I played incorrectly, I should have double barreled.
River 3:
I check, she bombs river for 1600 into a pot of almost 1100, I almost immediately call. She has A4 for the wheel straight. I think most times I am going to be good with my Ace High call.
I did save some money checking the the turn but at the same time would have been able to make her fold the turn with a double barrel. Im not too disappointed with the hand. I rarely chase gut shots unless I'm getting priced in. I didnt price her in on the flop because I gave her 1.9:1 pot odds to chase her gut shot which is 5.25:1. As for me I need to learn to really get into the other players heads and not play from my angle, any help with that and any comments on the hand?
