Hi, so last night I was playing live £1/£2 cash game and I played this one hand which I would like some opinions on. Personally I feel like I was just having an off day and was trying to play too creative in general, so believe I should never have been in this situation anyway, but the point is I was, so would like opinions on how this hand was played.
So - it's £1/£2, we are 9 handed, one of the more aggressive players at the table opens from middle position to £7, he has around £170. Folds to me at CO, I have around £150 and have 6
7
. Now normally I would just fold, but my table image at this point was pretty tight and I sensed a good time to make a move, so I raise to £21. Button and blinds fold and initial raiser thinks a few moments then calls, for a pot of £45.
Flop comes Q,Q,8 rainbow, player checks to me and I decide to check back as I can do this with very strong hands as well as hands that miss. Turn is 5, which puts second
on board. Player now leads for £25 into £45. I've picked up an up and down straight draw so call. Pot now £95. River is a 7
, giving me a pair. Player now bets £60 into £95. After a long think I decide to call with my pair of 7s with the theory that he can put me on just A high type hands that would check flop and call turn, also its possible he picked up heart draw on turn and decides to bluff river. Turns out he had AQ which is fair enough, but what do you think about my call? DO you think that I had some right to call in that spot or is it just an always fold? In my mind im thinking he can only ever bet with a Q here, or maybe he has 8,8, but basically I don't think he's ever betting here with 10,10 or J,J or say a frisky A8, and it may appear to him that I can't have a Q myself and most likely have only A high type hands myself so he thinks he can bluff me off. Bare in mind the opponent is an aggressive player and my image was tight so when I check flop it may appear I always have broadway cards which miss, and me making a pair with 7on the river would be very unlikely.
will be interested to hear some opinions : )
