Yesterday I played in a home game tournament and am trying to figure out how i could've gotten away from this hand or if i even can.
blinds are 100/200, i have 4K chips in MP, average stack is 7K and we're about to double the blinds in 5 minutes. i am dealt QQ and raise 3xBB from MP 2 callers, my immediate left (station) and the button who i know to be a very strong player. i put him on something like JJ or AQ because he shows obvious strength but he does not push...which i assume he would try to isolate me if he's got anything stronger. pot: 2100 flop 10c 3h 7c i raise 1500 to get rid of the station and try to just take down the pot. too much? station folds, button raises 1500 more and i know without a doubt that i'm beat. my stack is now 1900, the pot is 6600 and i move all in for my remaining 400, flip over my queens, get up from the table and start walking as he flips over his pocket tens for a set. it's so dissapointing to me that i made a good read, knew i was done for and betrayed it. my question is how do i learn to let these hands go, or can i let them go? if i fold that hand over the long run i'm losing more pots than i could win, i know this, but still...how do you really learn to trust your reads and have the discipline to stand by them...especially when you're an average poker player that's making as many bad reads as you are good ones? was there a way to play this differently that could've really helped me? |
