Re: Any suggestions on how I played this hand?
I played a similar hand about 2 weeks ago.
J7 offsuit in the BB. Flop came 8-9-10 rainbow, 4 limpers pot of $17 (after rake). I bet $20, one caller, turn comes Q. I bet $40 and he raises to $140. I read him on KJ.
I muck J7 FACE UP and I get yelled at by 4 people and I politely asked the raiser to show his KJ to the table and indeed he did. I had another $400 or so behind me so I saved myself a lot of money that most there would have put all in.
Every time I see a lot of them, they still compliment me on my "amazing read"... which kinda sucks now because I've lost my disguise as an average player :/
You played it right, more times than not he's gnna have 2 pair or a set... with 1 card to a straight, fold it but 2 cards that people play normally to a higher straight, gotta let it go unless its crazy good odds.
