PF- I call with trash getting 4.5 to 1 hoping to flop 2pair+ or I'm gone
Flop- I hit the flop I was looking for, the flop has some draws out there so I bet out hoping for a call or a raise behind me. After sb c/r I just mini raise for info from the btn, after he is gone I feel a little more comfortable with my hand. SB calls with great odds so I think he is likely on a draw.
Turn- Not as scary as a spade but it still slows me down. If I make a bet here I feel I will be commited to the pot. I figure I'll check behind and if the river blanks I'll call/make a value bet.
River- 4 to a straight on the board. I fold as I feel so much of his range now beats me and a lot of the hands I can beat don't bet here. I've played very douchy so I'm likely getting bluffed out by a busted flush draw a fair bit too.
My anaylsis is, (1) don't get involved in the first place just let the hand go pf though my odds seemed good, (2) I should do a proper 4bet on this flop... I didn't think a set was likely here because I figured either sb or btn would have 3bet pf with JJ TT... 22 is possible but unlikely... JT was a possibility from either player and fits the PF play pretty well. A flush/staight/combo draw or a TP type hand seem most likely. (3) The turn was where I feel I misplayed the most but if I 4bet the flop I'm not in this situation. As played if I bet here and he comes over top do I call getting 2.5to1? Probably. If he just calls and then shoves river do I call with those odds then? Not sure, but probably not with 4 to a str8 on the board.
Anyways any advice would be appreciated especially in flaws in my play and/or thinking. I'm just getting back into poker after an extended absence.
Also, is it just experience that allows you to think quickly? I find I can't fully anaylze a hand without running out of time at the tables.
