could i have avoided this muppet play on the river
this was a $215 for 1st and 2nd got $25

I do seem to remember you criticising someone on here who played a flush draw on a paired board.

Maybe your views on that have since changed Ironside.

 ???

i'da bet the flop, he's probably gonna reraise cuz of the flush draw. either way you know he's got something.
Though i tend to flat call reraises on the river if i ain't got the nuts.

The last reraise has to be a call i think.

its heads up karabiner and i didnt play the flush draw i played the flush

i read him for the ace and was therefore happy to see him check the flop and the turn

and thought all my christmases had come at once on river

Didn't realise that it was HU

someone raises 450 out of a 5.5k stack HU out of position, i am inclined to let Q5 go.

450 was the standard raise every hand was raised and if i was letting Q5s go i would be blinded out soon enough

If he was raising 450 each hand, why not re-raise or wait for a hand to play back with?

i did thats how i busted in the end after getting back to 5k

you can't avoid this HU can you, unless you pass pre flop?

If you bet the flop, he's raising, you probably go with it

The check on the turn from him is a warning sign that he doesn't mind you having a free card

You hit gin on the river HU. suppose there's one raise too many on the river but jeez, that's a bit harsh

the extra raise on river was for 825 chips might aswell kill the match off either way there

that's what I meant, a bit harsh to not try and end it for 825 chips

He could have had trip 9s after all

unlikely, but could have been

i was 99% certain he had an ace on the flop

the way he played if didnt have the ace he would have bet

you seem to have convinced yourself you're a muppet then

See ya Kermit  ;D

I would have kept the last raise back, only so i still have a playable stack if i lose.

proberly right i managed to get back to 5k but was hard work before i busted
