Final Pot: t8630

In retrospective, i hate my turnbet.
Should have just called it down.
Is the riverfold too anxious?

I hate to bubble here - but the pot is very big.
I know i should have bet bigger on the flop, but i wanted to keep the pot small/take it down right there.

I hate both completing 45 o and leading out for half pot size with 3rd pair against the cheap leader as u will get floaded
so often.U are more or less in the money,why challenge the chipleader?
As played I like stacking off though.

Fold Preflop FTW

Definitely fold PF.
As played I like the flop and turn but I don't think I can fold the river.

[sence25]

Cliffnote: i had openfolded my SB several times into him and thought this might be a cheap opportunity to minbet flop/take the pot with a nice risk/reward-ratio.
It doesn't matter what my cards are, if i want to shut down after resistance here.
That's why i hate hitting trips on the turn.

you've done your nut.

[RexWoo]

Fold preflop.

He never had you beat here but of course it's tricky with the 2 short stack.

I like the flop &amp; turn bet. I'd probably bet again on the river.
[EDIT] and call as played

Fold Preflop, As played bet 600 on the flop, Shut down if called and a blank comes. Bet more on the turn with the intention of pushing river.

Hard to put bb on a 4, and you did check to him on the river, 9 10 and 10 7 are a big part of his range. You are getting over 2 to 1 and have a third of your stack in. If he has 6 8 or a boat pay him off.

*sighs* yeah, i used my whole timebank and autofolded then.
wow, this must have been the most awful hand i played in a while lol

I will fold it pf, because i definitely don't want to play with chip leader when there are 1.5BB and 4BB guys. I will check flop. I play like a rock in such situation.
