In my never ending quest to not be a nit I'm worried I might be going too far the other way and making stupid plays all in the name of not being a pussy at the table. I still think I did the right thing here, but I'd like the better players to confirm/deny:
I'm UTG+1 and open to $13 with A
K
and get the standard 4 callers. I have just under $300 to start the hand.
Pot ~$65
Flop: A
J
10
Pretty good flop for me and probably not so much for the callers ranges. I bet out $40 and the guy to my immediate right insta shoves for like $250 more and has me covered.
Folds back to me. I'm in no mood to fold this, right? What I can tell you about the villain is had I raised to $18 or $118 preflop he's calling with a hand he likes, price doesn't matter and he's went to his pocket a couple times to rebuy already.
His range is almost certainly infinite preflop, but he's not shoving without a piece of this flop either. Yes, KQ is 100% in his range here, but is a bunch of other stuff. I don't think it's a heart draw based on what I'm holding and I obviously have that covered anyway. It's not a set as I would have been 3-bet pre if he had AA, JJ or TT
I guess I think this is a snap call/fist pump all day every day.
Am I wrong? Should I fall back to the advice that players at this level don't bluff enough and it has to be KQ?
Call?
