NLCASH 0.5/1 how badly did I butcher this hand
Bought in for $40 against somebody sitting with $20 at a .5/1 NL table.
This is about the 13th hand of the session without any showdowns. The only thing I know about this player is that he's not overly aggressive preflop (he's been respecting my preflop raises, and has folded a few buttons), and that he seems to want to be every time he's checked to. Full Tilt Poker No Limit Holdem Ring game Blinds: $0.50/$1 2 players Converter Pre-flop: (2 players) Hero is BB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] SB calls, Hero checks. Flop: 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($2, 2 players) Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">SB bets $2</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $5.25</font>, SB calls. Turn: 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($12.5, 2 players) Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">SB bets $9</font>, Hero calls. River: 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($30.5, 2 players) Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">SB bets $5</font>, Hero calls. Results: Final pot: $40.5 <font color="#ffffff">SB showed 3s 6d</font> <font color="#ffffff">Hero mucks 7s Ad</font> |

Re: NLCASH how badly did I butcher this hand
My thought process through the hand:
Flop: I'm pretty sure I've got the best hand, and he's bet when checked to almost every time, so I want to try to get more money in, but this is a very draw-heavy flop, so I don't want to check/call giving a free card. A7 isn't exactly a monster, though, so is it even sane to be considering a checkraise here? (And based on previous action, I think there's *very* little chance he's going to check behind, no matter what his cards are) Turn: He called, so he's probably got some piece. My check-raise could very easily look like a draw, and if he thinks I'm drawing, the 5 made a couple straight draws, but missed the clubs. On the off chance that he's just floating, I don't want to shut him down by betting, so I check. The $9 bet actually has me thinking I'm probably beat by a two or two pair, because he's willing to commit his stack. But it's also a good bluffing card, I have some straight outs, he's very shallow, so it's not going to cost me much more to showdown, and there's some chance I could still have the best hand, so I call. If he's got me beat, the rest of his chips are going in on the river anyway, and if he doesn't, I'm probably only going to get his last $5 by letting him continue to bet, correct? But there's no point I should be even considering folding here, though, right? Even if the SB has a full stack behind? Sometimes I don't give folding much thought (just enough to reject it), and wonder after the fact if maybe I should have. Well, maybe if there's a big bet on the river? Obviously I can't fold for $5.

Re: NLCASH how badly did I butcher this hand
based on your read that he will bet if checked to, i think you played it fine.
