Hello my fellow poker players. I am a casual 2nl player looking for some good advice and I would be happy if you could give me some.
Now what should I do here? I don't have a HUD, so I don't know the villains stats, nor do I have any reads on him. Now I think I played the hand decently until the river, because I read the board to be pretty safe and I let him bet, not wanting to scare him away by raising. And I knew that he wouldn't have the aces, so I wasn't too scared of the river. Now the only hand that would have beat me, was K10, so I wasn't about to fold, I wanted desperately to get it all-in.
Now was I right in my thought process, or was he pretty much saying on the river that: "Hey, I have K10"? Should I have folded on the river, or should I have played more aggressively earlier in the hand?
