Default Playing for it then backing out like a little girl

2/4 6max

Hero plays like 30/25 on several of villians tables. Have tangled a bit, and I've had the best of it (c/r bluffs have worked, floats have worked etc) so far. Until this hand. Villian plays 10/20 and frankly I don't know what hes doing down here in my back yard. Has reraised me several times preflop. He is running about 24/14

Anyway, villian opens on CO to usual 16. I have A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] on button, make it 50, villian calls fast. We have about 450 behind.

Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (pot 100)

Villian checks, I check obviously, eliminating blanks from my range.

Turn: 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (pot 100)

Villian checks, I check. I guess my range to him is now AK/AQ,KK,QQ,JJ or so

River: 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (pot 100, 380 behind)

He checks. Bleh. Now what. Value bet obviously isnt there unless its tiny, but thats kind of transparent.

Hero bets 12 with the intention of calling a raise. Villian raises, quickly, allin - 370 to call into a pot of 500.

I time out and fold for 3 reasons:

1) We have history and he knows this is suspicous
2) It looks like I played for a c/r and the large amount suggests that if any of my range will call, it will call any amount, so he's maximising.
3) The speed at which he c/red

I felt like a total idiot

i don't understand what you mean here.

bet flop. failing that bet turn. i'm not sure of a good plan for the river but after checking the first two streets i don't know why you're betting here. as played i vote for check behind.

this hand is atrocious.

steady on,

If I bet flop or turn, what losing hand is calling. Given that I checked flop, what losing hand of his is calling that I bet on turn ?(if I had been reraising on a bluff I would surely have fired the flop - this is what i mean by blanks not being in my range on the turn). What is your plan if you get c/red allin.

So he knows that if you are just messing PF then you will fire the flop? So fire the flop.

I hadn't smiled enough today until I read this post, ty OP.

Also, since when is 2/4 your backyard? What site are you playing 2/4 on? 2/4 might be a few people's backyard on this forum, including myself, but it sure as hell isn't your backyard if you check down with top pair second kicker only to fire 1/8th of the pot on the river and fold to a CR.

A large Vagina may be your backyard, but not 2/4.

Oh, at least your thought process was solid.

P.S. I just 23409234098th leveled you with that last comment.
