Re: A tough one (for PJ even though he\'ll probably hate it)
[ QUOTE ]
Flop check is bad. I don't remember why I did it and therefore there is no good justification for it.
Turn check I think is better, he's never folding a pair, and he's tricky enough to c/r As/Ks there after I check the flop.
The river should be a check but you nailed it by saying "in the heat of the moment" I insta-bet he insta-raised and I instantly puked.
[/ QUOTE ]Not much more to say after this. You really screwed the pooch with the flop check, so there's probably not a lot of upside to betting the turn since you can't represent anything.
By tough post-flop, do you mean he's capable of putting in 2BB to win a 4.5BB pot with nothing? He needs to be FOS 15% of the time for your river call to break even, but I'm a card-carrying showdown monkey and even I doubt you're good that often.
In honor of the late great Nostrodumbass, I offer the following quatrain:
In the eleventh month of the seventh year
a trio of Fancy Plays, check-raising
a King and his Queen, two spades, no fear
Uh... or maybe he got there with Ace-King
