During the server restart I'm reviewing all the hands in notepad.. How's the hand-reading below? +eq or spew? I thought this was an interesting one, and I could really use some perspective on the villain's range.
I don't remember anything remarkable about him, so call him an average $22 player.
Preflop: I don't raise because it'd require 1/4 of my stack and I don't think he was open completing all the time, either.
Flop: After he checks I pot trying to take it down immediately. To me his check-minraise shows either a monster (QQ+, all hands he might complete with) or he recognized that because he showed weakness checking in position my bet could be a stab, and he's trying to resteal recognizing that QQ+ would occur to me and I'm short-stacked.
I'm thinking he might open complete and check-minraise with Kx, Qx, JJ+. On the other hand JT, any ace, two clubs, and low pairs all seem unlikely for a ocomp-chk-mr. I call ready to reevaluate on the turn.
Turn: If he really held a K I'd expect him to either check the scare card or bet stronger--400 just didn't feel right for a king, FWIW, and Kx is a bit less likely with the paired board. I push with the idea of folding out AA, QT, QJ, and single clubs higher than my 9c.
Thanks for your help.
