Of course I remember you man, we used to crush the 6 max's.
I had a swingy session yesterday, started off down 1k but ended up lockig up a 1.2k win.
A big hand I played bothered me and I wanted to post it on here.
Game is 2/5 holdem, $2500 max buy in. It was 7 handed. Everyone had max buy in who were involved in the hand.
Hero is in MP and gets AdKd
Folds to hero. Hero opens to $22. Cutoff and button call (they call me raises light PF). SB bumps it to $121 (he plays very agg against me because 1. He thinks I'm spewy, and 2. he thinks he can outplay me (he 3bet me with J5o in position before at a 9 handed game)) I bump it back up to $333, Cutoff and button fold. Villain Calls.
Flop ( $715) : Ac Jc 8s
Villain checks. I bet $244 Villain calls.
Turn ( $1203) : 5d
Villain Checks. I check. (This is the part of the hand that bothered me. I didn't want to get check raised and play for stacks here so I decided to "pot control". I hate the word pot control, because I think it's a cop out. I think it applies to when you don't know if your hand is good or not, so instead of building the pot you just check,minimize variance, and maybe figure it out later. Grab your balls and make the bet and don't worry about if you get check raised, it might even save you money on later streets.
Another reason I checked is because I wanted to kind of disguise my hand as well and make a nice value bet on the river depending on what came out. In all honesty though this was only 50% of the reason I checked , the other 50% was "pot control")
River : Qc (Every draw hit and AQ got there. Worst possible river for me.)
Villain checks. I don't beat anything here really, so I check. Villain shows AdTd and I scoop.
I don't like to go really deep into my thought process usually (poker lessons ain't free) but I'm still torn between betting $400 or so on the turn or checking. In hindsight it's an easy answer, but in the situation I felt he could've easily check raised me because that's how he plays and I would've been in a tough spot for 500bb.
