Re: 1010 first hand stars 6.50
I mean it all turned out okay, but I'm not that big of a fan when it comes to check calling it all the way down like you did. It turns out fine because his bets are so small, but what are you doing when he puts a bet of 275 or 300 out there on the river? I'm not interested in calling that bet obviously with a flush out there, trip J's, overpairs, and 22, 44, and 99 are all beating us (well, 22 and 44 shouldn't be part of Villain's range really but 99 is reasonable). Realistically, it's spew IMO if you're calling the flop and turn bets but fold to the river, and who wants to call off 20% of our stack on the river when we have no idea where we stand? It's obviously very unlikely that our hand will improve as well.
It seems to me like you didn't really have a plan after the flop. Either take the aggressive line or the setmining line, but it seems like you're vascillating here wanting to do both.
