25NL - Tough decisions with TT
This guy is 22/12/4.5. On his second hand at the table, he shoved 88 over my turn bet on a K high board and caught an 8 on the river to beat my AK.
I actually think I should have folded the turn here. If I'd known I would fold the river, I probably would have. It's unlikely that my hand gets any better. But I couldn't figure out the best course of action and so I called hoping that might slow him down. Obv it didn't and I couldn't convince myself I was ahead. PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums) Button ($47.45) SB ($37.95) BB ($24.35) UTG ($11.75) Hero ($26.25) Preflop: Hero is MP with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

Why don't you think you're ahead? I think you're WA here, I raise turn. What could he have that beats you?

Why did you fold river? WTF. Keep betting on the turn. I don't get it.
Edit: Wait, you folded because he's a donkey and sucked out the last hand? Wow. |

I thought I was behind because the last time he had a mediocre holding he got REALLY aggressive with it. Here he made callable bets. What could he possibly have that beats me? Hmm, I dunno. A set? Maybe I *am* playing scared because I've lost just about every pot I've played in the last 3 days. |

Stop searching for monsters when you go to a flop. Him calling the flop is W-E-A-K not strong. The only reason he bet the turn is because you checked. River is a weak bluff because he doesn't want to go to showdown with his hand. When the board paired 3's your hand became stronger and you need to bet again. |

Re: 25NL - Tough decisions with TT
If nothing else call the river on pot odds alone, you're getting 2.5:1 with an overpair to the board and no straights or flushes. The only thing that has you beat is a set, and he sure didn't play it like one. vixicator is correct, you seem to be playing tentatively. I understand why after your bad run, but firing on the turn is a must.

Re: 25NL - Tough decisions with TT
Ok, I take the point that people generally think I played this poorly. But I've gotta argue with the idea that this is NOT how someone plays a set. This is exactly how someone plays a set. Hell, this is how I'd play a set on this board. I might check behind on the turn to induce a bet on the river. But I don't think this looks significantly different than how I would would expect 88 to get played in this pot.
