2/5 NL - $1k deep

[howzit]

thanks for any input and feedback since i rarely post no limit hands.

i have crazy image but have gotten my stack up by playing pretty good postflop.

some bluffs i've shown:
-- two barreled a king high rainbow board.
-- bluff raised in position a river flush card
-- flashed the 3c when i 4 bet somebody preflop.


winning hands:
-- potted the river w/a boat on a paired board when the flush didn't get there.
-- 3/4 pot the river when the flush hit on turn and the aggresor on every street checked the river.
-- potted turn against a short stack all in with trip fives.

i stacked the villain (button) earlier in the night when i called on the turn w/pair + straight/flush draw vs his TPTK and i hit. he'd be very happy to double up through me althought he's been avoiding me.

BB: 2k
Straddle: 1k
me: cover
button: 1k

straddle is on, i open for $40 w/KQ some where near the button. button (ABC player but thinks i'm full of it) calls, nut peddling BB calls, and straddler (loose/passive) calls.

flop: ($160) Qc 7s 6c
checked to me. . . i fired $150 and get promptly raised by the button to $350. other two players fold, and now i'm faced with button who has 600 left.

ugh. i really screwed up pot control here. what's my play now? and what should've been my bet size originally, if at all?

I would have done like $25-30 preflop then like $75 on the flop normally, but considering you got 3 callers for $40 it doesn't look like $25-30 would have done much.

he has a set

let's say you're a 40 yo white guy rocking the 2006 bellagio hat and playing twenty dollar bills instead of $100s. what would you do w/a set of 7s against the most craziest "gambler" you've played against in 2 months? what would you do with a naked queen?

(this guy probably never played online and goes to the public library for email and probably couldn't spell Patrik Antonious with a gun to his balls.)

i play live too. that pot is very big for live 2/5. he isnt bluffing.

[thedustbustr]

not to mention a pp is the perfect hand to smooth call a huge pfr is cuz he can win a big pot!

hey bro, interesting hand. i check this flop a lot, or i bet less; i'm almost never potting it, but if i do i don't think i'm folding. esp with the crazy image you describe yourself having, this guy could think any Q is good.

an aside: $20 bills play at venetian? oh, and you spelled "antonius" wrong [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

[howzit]

yo mike. guy pulled out 5 benjies and the rest in 20s.

i dunno. i hate this spot but a bet under $100 would've worked.

i tanked and mucked and he shows a queen so yeah, i just gave up some equity there by outplaying myself. oh well. good to know next time i run hot and get to play deepstack live.

Raise to $15 or $20 preflop, cbet $50 on flop. I hate your preflop raise size, and as played, I'd say very ez fold postflop.

[thedustbustr]

it was straddled, his pfr was fine. id raise this much in a deep live fishy game anyway, i want to build pots with these clowns. assuming i was getting 1-2 callers.
