CO - thinks for awhile, I start to feel comfortable he doesn't have a flush until he starts acting a little but I thought he could have set or two pair thinking about raising for value bc it looked like I had what I had. He finally decides to raise $100 on top.
HERO - I thought wow I'm probably beat but idk the way he was thinking before he raised seemed pretty weak and like he was thinking about making a move on my obvious blocker bet. So I'm torn, I decide its unusual for him to have QJ or worse in this spot from my experience at this stake and for most of his stack... I start acting like I'm really considering a call, I'm talking it out, and he says hell show me out of no where, I laugh, think some more he talks a little more he seems kind of nervous but I just can't believe the whole acting job before he raised and now he's messing with the show if I fold talk so I decide to fold even though his initial tells when I bet $50 were weak.
CO shows Q3 of hearts.. turned top pair into a bluff.. so now my hindsight is if I checked river he was probably checing back, sighh.
Sorry, for long thread, wanted you guys to have the info I had and my perspective. Help lol
:grunch:
I like to bet a little larger UTG to avoid spots like this, $15. But $12 is fine too.
On the flop, FPS! Just bet out $45 yourself.
When CO pops it, he *could* have a Q, or a semi-bluff, or even a set. I think a Q is most likely though. I really want to know more about him that he's white and not completely ******ed though.
With $200 behind I'm not liking any stack off on this flop.
Calling is fine. I'd rather let him possibly bluff or value bet with worse, raising here runs a lot of that portion of his range out of the hand.
Turn check check is weird. If he's got a flush he's burning a lot of his value by checking, which is fine for us.
I don't like the river bet. It doesn't make any sense. What hands do you raise pre with, b/c the flop, c the turn and fire the river? It looks weak to almost all opponents, even if they're not paying that much attention. I don't think it folds out enough of the hands that beat us, they're going to grumble and call anyway, it only folds out things that we beat. I'd rather check and call $50.
The $100 raise is screaming for a call, and almost all of the time should be something that beats us. But your bet and probably your demeanor at the table all says "I'm weak". So he might be taking a stab, but it would be far more likely if you had checked a second time to him. The only problem is that I don't see what hands he really has that beat us here. Flushes. But does a flush raise the flop? Probably not. Q's? We beat those. A K? Maybe. 77 is the likely candidate if we're beat.
aaaand now I see that you've given results. Don't do that.
