PP5-10 - heads up with laggy BB

[dirty_dan]

I hopped into a Party 5-10 full ring with an average pot of $87. I normally stick to 3-6 and below but the 3-6 were all tight monsters and I got lucky when the list momentarily emptied. Looking for critiques of my play on this hand. Forgive the lack of a well formatted hand history. I'm posting from memory.

I've played a couple orbits but haven't been paying attention. BB is 47/11/3 over a meaningless 22 hands.

I open raise in CO-1 with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and only BB calls.

BB bets, I raise, BB 3-bets, I cap

I took his opening bet to mean a J, a 2, a small pair, spades, or anything else a loose BB would call a position raise with, so I put in the standard raise. Given my standard raise I felt his 3-bet could easily have been light and didn't think folding to his 3 bet or calling and folding to a turn bet were great options. Hence the cap to represent a good hand and take control.

BB bets, I raise, BB calls

I thought his lead on the flush card was hinky and felt it was a good card for him to bluff on. I raised to try to fold his J, small pair or junk. Once he called I was done.

BB checks, I check


My first reaction after playing this hand was that I had FPS out the wazoo, that I gave too much credit to an unknown player because I was playing a bigger game than I was used to, and that I was a complete tool. As I thought about it I changed my mind and decided my play wasn't completely horrible.

So which is it? Did I play retardedly fast and blow off 5 bets with garbage, or was my line and thought process reasonable? Tool or not?
