Pre-flop: ($0.75, 6 players) Hero is SB Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Preflop was pretty standard compared to his nearly ATC-range. Raise size was to make committing easier should I hit TP or miss on a rag board.

The raise from the SB is pretty spew. Just call and see a flop. You say the raise was made to give you an easier decision on the flop. You missed and your still committing your self and going back on your play.

Flop: 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($12.5, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $12.5</font>, <font color="#cc0000">BTN goes all-in $49.6</font>, Hero calls $37.1

Betting pot here was done for a reason: Villain would reraise all-in here with ANY pair and many bluffs and semi-bluffs, but would call here with his strongest hands, like two pair, KK or AA. This means betting pot priced me in vs a one pair hand.

You follow up with a bet with no idea where you stand and OOP 2 things that put you at a huge disadvantage. He pops it on you and you call with Ace high you only have a bluff beat which in his case is the least likely holding right now.
