my first real 2-5 hand, table full of regs and the game was pretty loose. a lot of limp/calling and raising going on.
Villain: defly a reg, not much info right then, but from what I saw later on he's a pretty solid player. (covers)
Hero: bought in for 600, (relatively shallow for the game), just another asian guy with sunglasses.
Preflop:
Villain limps from MP, co limps, hero at small blind with AQo (no
) just calls, big blind checks.
Given it was my first hand against the 2-5 regs at the table, and seen how they always limp/call, I felt that AQo was not a very strong hand to play from out of position against good players that I have no reads on.
Flop: (20)
Q
10
6
Hero checks, bb checks, villain in MP leads out for 25, CO calls, hero calls, BB calls
This is where I played horrible, my plan was to c/r the flop since I was certain that I had the best hand, but after MP led out, CO just flatted the bet, I got lost of where I was in the hand, QT
is a pretty wet board, if i raise and shoved back by a combo draw, am I comfortable getting it in on the flop..
anyways, my read on the villain was that he had a Q or a T
Turn: (120)
5
Total brick, I lead out for 100, bb folds, villain in MP calls, co folds
I was pretty happy with what happened on the turn, I felt villain had a Q and if a brick came on the river, I could easily get another bet of 150 in.
River: (320)
4
flush draw got there, I decided to c/c the river, I check, he checks instantly behind with Q
5
he said he put me on a flush draw after the hand, and I was way too embarrassed to show my horribly played AQ. Silver lining is that if I'm being result oriented, by playing horrible I've saved money..LOL
if I c/r the flop and got it in on the turn, I'd have lost it all...
anyways, what do u guys think about the flop play, next time should I take a lead out or c/r line on that flop in a similar situation?
