I couldnt tell whether he was testing me or truly was stronger so I decided to re-test him. The turn was a disaster, and I think he played his hand perfectly.

MY preflop raise was a little loose but I just handed over all my chips and made a new chip leader in this tournament. Did I really mess up that bad this hand?..

I hate hate hate that flop reraise
If you think he's testing you...just call, see a turn, control the pot and its good because if he's bluffing you don't want him to STOP BLUFFING at you.
BTW- just shove the turn, that weakish turn bet sucks arse
PS- PF raise really isn't standard and if you are losing your stack on these situations, maybe play tighter in EP

I don't see anything wrong with the PF raise..and its def not horrible.

Firefly · #4 03-09-2006, 02:02 AM

no, its not horrible per se, but it's a raise that one should not be making if you can't play it postflop if they have Top pair, mid kicker

I was planning on folding if this bet got called on flop. Yet, the nine on turn was a disaster for me. Only hands I really am beating on turn is AK and AQ.

River: My push on river?..bad (Check- call right) I can only beat AK.

REsults: he flipped over AJ..I think he played the hand perfectly and it was just a horrible scenario for me to get trapped in once I hit my kicker.
