This is just after the rebuy period ended, hence the deep stacks. Villian just moved to table, so no reads.

Here's what I was thinking during this hand:

Preflop- I was just taking a shot with a speculative hand in position. With stacks this deep this is not an uncommon move for me, even with a suited connector this low.

Flop- I decided to call his flop bet for a few reasons. First, I did catch a small piece of the flop, and there are a lot of good turns for me(any diamond, 4, 5, 3, 7). Second, if a bad turn comes and he checks to me, I may be able to steal the pot from what could well be a continuation bet.

Turn- I opt to check behind here because his bet on the flop appears to have been a c-bet, there are very few cards he can catch to beat me if I am behind, and I may be able to entice a bluff on the river.

River- I make a bet slightly larger than I would if I were value betting a K here, hoping to get a call from a A high or maybe even a raise from a 9.


Thoughts on all streets are welcome.
