So Im always posting hands I lost, but I thought about this hand after I won it and thought to myself, did I really play this hand right, or was I fortunate to win/
For those who havnt seen my others posts, I have to type out the information as there is no tracker available for the site I play on in the USA called Global Poker. Also there are no HUDS.
One thing you should know about this site that I havnt mentioned previously, it has very recreational players, as its target is the facebook and instagram scene.
So that being said, here is the hand.....
NL10
.05/.10
6 max table
Opening Stack Sizes
UTG - 98.5 BB
MP - 125.8 BB
CO - 165.5 BB
BU - 27.4 BB
SB - 74.1 BB
BB (HERO) - 246.2 BB
HERO Dealt
A♣: K♥:
UTG call 1 BB
MP Fold
CO Raise 5 BB
BU Fold
SB Fold
BB (HERO) Raise 25 BB
UTG Fold
CO Calls 20 BB
TOTAL POT - 51.5 BB
FLOP
2♥: 6♠: K♦:
BB (HERO) - Check
CO - Check
So I checked here to see if I could get him to start the betting since he was the original pre-flop raiser. This would make my job more easy and conceal my hand if he was the aggressor post flop. Obviously that didn't work because he checked.
TOTAL POT - 51.5 BB
TURN
2♥: 6♠: K♦: Q♠:
BB (HERO) Bets 38.6 BB
CO Calls 38.6 BB
Now I know I needed to bet, and went with a 75% bet. Not sure if the sizing was good though or if I should have done a 50% bet to entice him to stay. He stayed of course for 75% which was fortunate for me. My thought process was I was hoping he had a Queen and would want to keep playing.
TOTAL POT - 128.7 BB
RIVER
2♥: 6♠: K♦: Q♠: 4♣:
HERO (BB) - Check
CO - Check
So I checked here because for the life of me I couldnt figure out what he had that he would be calling me with. Does he have two pair? Does he have pocket Q? So I checked and wanted to see what he would bet before I determined my next move. As luck would have it he checks and we go to showdown.
CO Shows - T♦: T♥:
HERO Wins with 2 Kings
So great, I won a big pot.. but how do you feel about my process here, and thinking. Feedback negative and positive are welcome as always!
