NL$1000| Is this a terrible or sound play from me?
 

I understand the merits of just folding PF here but I'm generally very tight in SB and like to let the BB know that I'm not going to just auto-fold any non-premuim hand to him all of the time.

Villain is 19/10/1.5 (290) and whilst I've not shown a hand down at this table I've not been very active so he should have no reason to suspect I'll get out of line.

I fear there will be screams of 'fold' preflop so lets not debate that one in and out. Flop, turn, river? Spew, spew, spew or good poker. By the river I was fairly certain of villain's hand.

it would take a misclick for me to fold preflop. flop standard, turn good, river i'd just c/f, maybe call once in a while to pick off a bluff. he's calling everything that beats you and folding everything worse, no one ever folds 2nd pair in a blind battle

A turn fold is probably best here imo. The river bet is really bad.

this is far from the worst 3barrel i've seen and player desc/own image makes it a good time.

i'd presume he'd raise with a K on the turn and fold a 10 on the river. if so, we should bet

Misread the action. Thought we c/called turn. Still I don`t think there`s much value in the river bet.

i dont think this is a value bet. i think hes trying to get him to fold a ten

*grunch* I think the third barrel will get called alot based on his flop and turn calls. I think other than possibly the flop, this is all spew.

Yea. I see that. Totally read dependent then.

wtf @ open folding A9o sb

Re: NL$1000| Is this a terrible or sound play from me?
 

At the river I was very confident that villain had a 10. I'd never seen him in this situation before so didn't have a specific read but I felt a third show of strength that looks like it's pricing a ten in would induce a fold.

He had Q10, called and won the hand

I've tried to put myself in his shoes whilst looking back over the hand and I'm totally in two minds. Using 2nd level thinking Q10 should only ever expect his opponent to have AA,Kx, fh or a bluff. QQ-JJ, A10, etc would all check/sd or check/call to snap off bluffs. I can see how I'd fold Q10 there but also how I'd call it.

I feel my play up to the river was fine. I don't think my river bet was as much of a spew as some of you do as I do think I can get a 10 to pack there a reasonable amount of the time. I can't say how often yet though so I'll put this down to experience and monitor it.
