Results below:

Spoiler

Button had 7, A (straight, eight high).
Hero didn't show K, K (one pair, Kings).
Outcome: Button won t8,100

I don't think I made such a big mistake, but the outcome is quite frustrating, so I'd like to ask you about your line. The flop was pretty dry so I wanted to give him a free card to catch up, on the turn I did not want to scare him away with a too big bet, the river action sucks, but I cannot see myself folding here.

preflop: 3b bigger to 1250-1500, we don't want BU r/c, we'll be OOP in a big pot and he can bubble-abuse us easy on a bad flop

any shorter and i'm shoving over his raise

flop: easy bet/stack off to 1050, don't check, don't give free cards
turn: as played, bet bigger to 1400, the board is getting ugly, protect vs FD and SD
river: as played, easy bet/fold to 1200, it sucks but we must fold to any raise on the river, BU has 2-pairs, sets and straights when he raises us

we must never be in this situation on the river in this spot

Hello all,

Preflop:

Bigger 3-bet to ~1300 chips.

Flop:

No need to give free cards. Just bet for valuew to ~1/2 of the pot with the idea to stack off.

Turn:

As played, bigger bet to ~1/2 of the pot.

River:

On this board with one cart street I can't see much value in a push. Also our stack is very awkward to bet for value. I prefer just to check/fold. I don't think weaker hand is going to bet here.

Guys if you have any questions, do not hesitate to write in this thread by clicking the button or

Best regards,
Antoan :pokerface:
