$60 live - I made a play - whaddya think?

[nycplayer]

Started with 9 players, T5000 stacks, and blinds of 25/50.
Now down to 6 players, blinds at 100/200 w/ 25 ante.
Pays top 2: 70/30

Hero and villain both have about T7500, but villain has hero covered by 100 or so.
I don't have much of a read, but I have been playing pretty tight and showing down premium cards up to this point.

Hero is in BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Preflop(450): folded to CO who raises to 400. SB calls, Hero calls.

Flop (1350) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

SB checks
Hero bets 1000 (I think there's a reasonable chance I'm best here.)
CO raises to 2000 (Hmm.)
SB Folds

At this point I go to call, then I think a bit about pushing, but finally decide to wait for the turn and just call.

Turn (5350) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Hero is all in for about 5000

If you were villain - what would you call with here?

I've been thinking about the hand, because that kind of move is a little out of character for me, and I'm wondering if it was brave or stupid.

It's stupid.
First you aren't representing anything. Any hand that trap called on the flop is checking the turn. Secondly that 4 will almost never improve your hand.
Thirdly villian almost never folds a better hand.

I would also check this flop and as played fold to the minraise.

[nycplayer]

My reasoning here was:
I might be best now, but not if a heart or big card comes.
He's still got 2/3rds of his stack, and I don't see him being committed to the pot.
I've got a few outs if I'm not best.

You're right about not representing anything. I thought maybe putting pressure on him might be enough, though.

Fold preflop. Fancy Play Syndrome has brought down many otherwise fine poker players.

[nycplayer]

Thanks for the feedback. He had QQ, went into the tank for about 4 minutes, almost mucked his cards (tossing motion, but didn't release. Maybe trying to get me to show mine prematurely?) and finally made the call.
River was no help.

I don't agree with folding preflop - pot is 1250 and it's 200 to me to close the action.

Check/fold the flop sounds about right.

Mistake 1. Should have folded. WTF sort of flop are you hoping for? A = likely dying to a better kicker; 6 = shithouse for the ensuing reasons.

Mistake 2. Should have checked. why put chips into a three-way pot without even top pair, and with no viable draw?

Mistake 3.Should have folded. Exactly what do you think the opponent has at this stage? AK? AQ? AJ? Sure, but even then every overcard becomes an immediate scare card, and a villain raising with less than a pair of sixes is going to lose their money so fast it isn't an issue.

Mistake 4. Should have checked, and folded to a bet. No opponent with a pulse is going to think that the 4 helped you.

If I were villain, I would call with AT+

You took 4 actions in that hand, and made 4 mistakes. At literally every possible opportunity you were making a bad mistake. I don't think you could have played this hand any worse.

I vote for the latter (before I re-read my post and added a whole lot more reasoning for my comments, it was a whole lot more nasty about your poor play here)

[robertsonjohn]

It's 200 to you in a 1250 pot, but if you're c/fing the flop, then you're only playing if you hit 2 pair or better (are you willing to get involved on an A board with your kicker against a PF raiser and caller?).

Fold PF

[johnnyrocket]

terrible played hand, if you think ur good to his min raise push the flop and dont let a card peal off that could easily break you. The 4 didnt help you so its a moron push, you just let him see a free card for no reason.

[johnnyrocket]

flop push or flop fold, please dont donk too much like this, makes you look like a weak player [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

and i'm sure ur not!!
