End of game 423011715

It’s all so easy to say, after the fact..

I think you played it fine. After the flush draw hit the board there was no losing him. So from what we now know it should have been an all in re re raise. But Again that’s only because we know the outcome...Just really unlucky with the flop giving him the flush draw, I’m sure he didn’t think he was going to win it with his over cards

I'm all in after the flop... I don't want any chance of a caller and would be happy to pick up the pot there.  I'm not sure what you were hoping to do by betting the 2.1k after the flop... if you were happy to reraise him all in after his raise then why not just go all in in the first place?  I'm too chicken to see another card, hence all or nothing.  I mightve even reraised all in preflop - i'm not good enough to play TT / JJ any other way :-)

I lost my small blind.

TT is a nightmare to play here (stack 30bbs+ all round the table).  Not sure if there is a way to make much money out of TT here without taking a big risk of elimination.  I would probably have limped and if raised decided what to do depending on the raiser and the size of their raise - folding calling reraising all considered.

As the cards come out, any way you play it, QcJc isn't going away if it sees the flop. 

Luckily I got moved away from this table, but then played as badly as possible on the other table including a complete  :blonde:   where I somehow thought a player was calling all-in when he has 5k left.

 

 

Yes, with hindsight, once I was re raised preflop, it should have been an all in or fold decision.

My reasons for just calling the re raise, was that if they had AK/AQ/AJ , i could still get away from the flop if it contained a J Q K or A.

My bet on the flop was to show weakness, hoping for a re raise (by AK etc...) so I could get it all in.

But you are right, once the flop comes down. JQsuited aint going anywhere, and neither am I.

Oh well, always next week :)

What did you think he had pre flop??

If you are just flat calling here pre flop then i think the idea is no set no bet, why not check on the flop and see what he does, if he puts in a resonable bet then you can fold. How often are you actually going to be ahead here?

Quite alot, i think (AK AQ smaller pair etc...)

He doesnt put me on the 9

But yes, i agree i played it badly.

BTW James , PLEASE dont read the thread entitled "and he thought I was nickin" under internet poker section  ;goodvevil;
