Didn't catch the post 'til now from the August thread, my QQ vs. Prodigy's AA, so I'm sticking my reply here...

No flop continuation bet because I suspect I'm behind. My turn call is getting 3:1, figuring you can have AK/JJ still, and hoping you shut down with AA/KK knowing that I do occasionally have a set, two pair, or a straight here.

Have I made a lot of huge CBs? In heads up pots I thought I was pretty consistently around 1.5 times my preflop bet, do most people think that's on the big side? I guess it might be a little bit big for 3-bet pots.

Edit: I also may have just not had the time to put into one or more of my decisions on this hand... I was playing 8 or more tables and the past couple nights I've had a little trouble keeping focus.

ok guys, changed my mind. I don't want to do coke anymore. Was pretty drunk last night.

Glad to hear it! "It" being the first two lines, LDO. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

yeah dude but if you do coke while you are drunk, you will like never get sick and you can drink all night. Good luck trying to have sex though.

This type of situation is probably one of the bigger leaks in my game right now... I think I need to be paying more attention and make better decisions when faced with these bets and figure out whether to fold or raise instead of being a pussy.

Yea calling getting 3:1 isn't a good idea if the largest % of my range leaves you with two outs [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The cbets I remember a cpl where you made pretty large ones, so I dunno. I don't think you played it horribly, although obviously if you were checking the flop because you thought you were behind I see no reason for flat calling the turn?

Regardless of anything you made the best 1 decision in that hand, which was checking the flop. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
