Re: 40-80 hand at Garden City: TP, meh kicker on a paired flop
Many thanks as always for the feedback, as it happens I called the turn & his bet on the river (a T), and he mucked when he saw my ace.
I was concerned mostly with a better kicker on a slow-played ace or obv trips, and this was actually my first time taking a stab at 40-80 so I was probably looking to play it a bit (or much) too safe.
At the time I thought I had played the hand ok, perhaps conservatively, but I remember that after the hand a younger Asian TAG player seemed to question the wisdom of calling the turn raise. Not in an obnoxious way or anything, he just seemed suprised, and I decided to bounce it off yall and see if I was really that out of line sticking with my ace.
