hi there - i always like to look at hands of pros as a beginner. may i ask why you did not ship it on the turn? as you are almost committed.
..and as i am not english native - what do you mean by "owned"?
I wouldn't start taking lines/plays like this at lower levels. ABC solid poker is the name of the game at smaller stakes. But i'll explain why i played it like that.
I've played the villain before and i'm confident in my read that he'll at least c/r the turn with hands that beat me. I know he's a station and capable of hero calling. When the turn card falls, i think the std line for most people would be to bet and check behind a lot of rivers. But when i bet the turn, i know that if all/most draws miss, i can value shove light and be hero called by lower pairs. Basically, i play my hand like i would if i had a flush draw, except i wouldn't be shoving the river if i miss vs this guy (he thinks i would, which is why he called light) because i know he's a station.
Shoving the turn doesn't make any sense, as i wouldn't do this with any of my range. When i bet 220 on the turn, it also sets the pot up nicely for a shove given stack sizes.
I'm kinda drunk right now, but if you don't understand my reasons, i'll go over it with you over AIM/MSN if you want, when i have some time (just PM me)
"owned" means, villain thought he was 1 level ahead of me, expecting me to shove msised draws there etc, but he didn't know i was capable of value shoving kinda light.
