I agree I should've probably raised pre. Although more like GBP15 as a pot builder for when we hit a set or to bluff on later streets (as we are in position) rather than GBP30 or more like Dubai suggested. Because that leaves us open to a bigger 3bet from one of the early limpers, negating any implied odds to setmine. Or most often sees us go to flop 3ways or heads up. And the problem with doing this with small-mid pairs, I find is that on most flops when we c-bet, we are effectively bluffing (i.e. cant stand a raise,or when called are usually behind) And the times we do hit our set, we need villain to hit the board hard enough to get paid off (i.e. TPTK, overpairs, two pair, combi draws etc)
I agree people don't tend to tank with nut-flush draws; but then I was pretty sure that he'd raise his straddle with a suited ace. I know that I probably should bet the turn. On the flop, his lead can be a draw; but again looking at his sizing 26 into 26 seemed more like a top pair bet trying to make draws pay. However if he did have a flush draw, I was pretty sure he'd bet the turn, when it hit
His range is not just polarised to
or air. I don't beat a 5 either. But apart from 75 and possibly 85, I can't see any other 5's that he'd bet the flop with. He's good enough to lead out with 54 on the flop but again I can't see him betting it that heavy or flatting the flop raise on that board
On the river I was getting a horrible price to call. I couldnt shove, because I had tanked for long enough for him to realise that I'm repping very little myself. I called and he announced two pair as I flipped
