Default Re: Im thinking i played the right??

3rd Street: Seat 8 is trying to play the hand cheaply with a pair of nines with a kicker lower than a K or is on a draw. He is the "chaser" in this hand (THE READ: has this player shown in the past a history of chasing in this situation. Very Important.) A chaser has to be made to pay, especially in this situation. Seat 6 has, 70% of the time, a Pair of As or Ks and the other 30%, a pair of Qs, Js, 10S or a st8 flush draw. Obviously you need seat 6 to cap the betting and this is what you hope for. You must make the chaser feel uneasy and in a position to make a tough decision. As played, his call is easy, way to easy.

4th Street: Both seat 6 and 8 catch terrible cards. Bet into seat 8 and RR when it comes back to you. But this where it gets interesting because you need seat 6 to RR and if he slows down, then you gained information about his hand, Very good chance he doesn't have As or Ks. If its Capped then the hand is +EV for you and seat 6 if seat 8 continues to call. (Error #1) You make life to easy for seat 8 and (Error #2) you not quite sure what seat 6 has, beacuse if he RR then you're 95% sure he has the As or Ks and can't improve on 5th or 6th without you knowing. This makes getting out of the hand very easy on your part. Or if you improve, as you did, an easy bet. As the hand played out, 5th and 6th are easy bets.
