I haven't played much the back half of this year and decided to play some last night as I watched some games and I'm thinking I know what I could have done differently, but want some opinions.
I have $400 and villain has me covered.
I'm in BB with 22 and there are 5 callers to me on a table that had otherwise been fairly aggressive preflop, not sure a hand in the last half hour wasn't raised preflop and that is important info for how this hand plays out, I think.
I've been having a rough session and don't think a raise will get anyone off whatever holding they have so I just check my option, is that a mistake?
Flop comes 2
Q
8
I check and MP bets $15, one caller and I check raise to $35. This was a sizing mistake for sure, but was the check-raise a mistake? I don't want to give villain his price if he is on a flush draw which I expect him to be given there was no prelop raise.
Villain 4-bets me to $85. At this point my options were to shove or fold, right? Calling or raising here commits the stacks either now or on the turn so take advantage of whatever fold equity I might have and just shove it here?
Rest will be in spoiler:
Thanks
