Up front - I lost the hand. I also don't really think this is a cooler, I think I played ignorantly. I am more interested how you get away from a pot like this (is it even profitable to get away? prolly not) I typically end up shoving w/ two pair on the flop, even bottom two on dangerous boards as seen here.
In retrospect, I subconciously threw the money in w/o really thinking. Everyone limped, perfect scenario for Ace-small donk to call, or a pocket pair. No stats, only read is that he folded to a 2nd barrel once on a dry board, not really a read i guess.
Heres my problem - I have to call this bet no matter what. If the turn blanks, I lead out for a PSB anyways, which basically gets us AI. So I'm going down no matter what?
Is that a cooler as you call it? Or am I being results oriented? It just appears that this scenario exists to get away from.
