Ouch. Took a couple days off, played for like an hour on Tuesday, lost a big hand didn't feel like playing more and then just left.
Triple Misplay
Hero SB (covers) 87hh
Villain MP (~$1500) ?? ~35yo asian guy
A player opens from UTG for 30, villain calls, another player calls, I call from the SB. 4 to the flop.
Flop ($120) 6h5c2h
Checks to villain, who bets 60, I call and others fold.
Ok here is where I start misplaying the hand. I hadn't played in a couple days and when I sat down I was scared. I was unreasonably scared on this flop that someone might have a set so I checked. I should have just led out and bet this flop. It fits well into my lead out strategy. Then when villain bets we should be check raising. But again I was afraid and I didn't want to face a 3bet, so I made the scared play and just called.
Turn ($240) Qc
Hero checks and villain bets $300.
Ok my first instinct when facing this large bet is to fold. Which is lol really it's costing us $300 to win $540. Getting a little less than 2:1 for an over pot bet. We should have 13 to 15 outs of 44 cards left in the deck. So folding is not out of the question since we aren't getting the direct odds to call. And we are OOP so there is a good chance if we make our hand we don't make any more money. And of course two hearts that pair the board could be bad for us. And villain might have a bigger flush draw, maybe with a queen even. So as crazy as it is I think my first instinct here is right. Fold. Of course that's not what I did.
Hero goes all-in putting villain all-in for another $1100. Villain thinks about it for a minute or two before calling.
River (~$2600) Ts
Hero flips over 87hh that missed and villain shows
Lol wtf? I guess I sat there on the turn and thought about it too long. I feel like there must have been some sort of timing tell there. Getting called by an underpair and losing a huge pot like that sucked. The pain! The misery! I misplayed this hand in three different spots because I was scared to get stacked. Which is inevitably what happened. I'm probably gonna go back to playing 5/5 for a while.
