agree with more pre I'm going around 550 he made a big initial 3b fwiw. Bet more on flop please

Many thanks for your responses.

Really wish I'd stuck with my gut on this one and ignored the maths of the situation.

I think >99% of the time this bet just means he HAS IT.

Especially this early.

As an aside, I had a bit of an epiphany last night.

Sat on the bubble for quite some time in the $33cubed, subiime just crushed it. I knew the guy really and truly is OI, but just watching his play in front of my very own eyes really hit it home. The bubble bursts and soon after I run my aces into Kings and AQs for a huge pot on the last two tables and can't get there.

I've always been one to rue my own luck, but this beat was different. I'd normally be like 'fuuuuuu jokerstars, every f#king time!' and feel tilted for the next 20 mins. But not this time, this time I just thought 'meh'. Switched it off and went to sleep.

I think I'm finally Over It. It feels good.

These moments in poker are the nuts. I was sat at a table in the last MC with my best friend, and we had the pleasure to watch Ben Martin play some pokeys, he was fantastic and it just showed me that despite knowing 95% of the game, the 5% i don't know means absolutely everything

I agree with everybody saying you should be betting more throughout, esp pre and flop. So thing is if you're making it cheap and your image is hellafish it's difficult to put just an 8 in his hands. Easier fold after betting more imo.

4bet wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy bigger pre. folding now. by 4betting small you don't define his range as he is flatting 100% of his 3bet range. That's why i lean towards a fold on the river.
