I've played < 1000 hands of NL so far, so this may be really retarded. Not enough hands on anyone for significant stats, but the original preflop raiser has already folded a couple times when reraised (once by me, once by someone else), but was pretty wild when he had the lead. A few hands prior to this one, he bet/3-bet TPTK big. Button hadn't gotten too involved before this, over ~30 hands.

Final Pot: $65.90
With a LHE background, I never cold call preflop right after a raiser, and it's probably a poor play here. My thinking was that I could trap the preflop raiser for a lot more by just calling here. I expected button to fold as usual, and even when it got to be a 4-way pot, I wasn't too worried. When the preflop raiser just checked the flop, I figured a PSB with a two flush out there is fine. My real question is on the turn, if I was just a total donkey with that play, sans reads. To me, the flat call on the flop could be a flush draw, a PP, a 9, or a 4, and I figured that I'd let him bluff everything besides the 4 either on the turn or the river. I figured I was dead when he 3-bet me all in, but by then the pot odds made it immaterial.
How many places, and how badly is my thinking flawed? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
