Default Re: How many streets did I misplay here?

I would almost always reraise preflop as opposed to calling. Cmon the guy raises to barely more than 2x BB on the cutoff with all these antes, flat calling is a crime IMO.

I think I would usually bet the flop. Fold equity not so important here IMO, because if you checkraise I think you are played with by any real hand that would raise you on the flop. And the ones that don't call you will fold to allins on the flop. I mean there is a chance you could bet 4k on the flop, get raised and still get your opponent to fold. And if they don't fold they probably weren't going to if you checkraised either. But okay whatever, checking should be fine because nothing too terrible can happen. If they check behind you will almost always bet the turn and win the pot there a decent % of the time, or make the nuts. Also forgive me if that was incoherent.

River I bet of course, you probably lose all chips to full house anyway whats the point of checking? Meanwhile you give up ridiculous value if he plans on calling you with a pretty good hand, but will check behind after you. Probably unlikely he goes for a stone cold bluff. Even if your plan is that he will bluff with zero there are tons of more likely scenarios that could occur if you simply bet. He could easily have some club or a pair and a club.

You are hoping he bets like 10k and leaves you with a few chips? You plan to fold to a river bet? I just don't like that check at all. You have 19k and the pot is 35k. Bet something for sure.



But ok cliffnotes

Don't like PF at all.
flop is close, not really sure what's best
turn seems fine (although would probably bet a touch less)
river seems terrible
