Hey guys,
I hope y'all doing fine!
I recently played this hand, and as it happens sometimes to me - I think I didn't take the best line. The reasons for this are: its NL2, its sunday on NL2 and maybe I am not the best pokerplayer in the world.
Preflop: I think the call in BB is fine with suited one-gapper vs BU minraise.
Flop: I raised because there are sooo many maniacs and callingstations that will pay me if I hit, and thus I wanted to go over 3 streets on a decent runout and get it in as much as possible by the river.
Turn: I had taken the lead because I have the nuts and x/r the flop. Probably I shouldve bet close to potsize - their draws will usually call no matter what size I choose.
River: not a good river for me, because I do not have the nuts anymore - only one eyeblink after I had bet I thought, a blockbet/fold wouldve been best line to "exploit the nutted raising range of Villain" as someone here nailed it. Would you agree with that? My big river-bet has made me pot-committed so I had to call, unfortunately.
And for the sake of learning: I think Villain's shoving range is mainly flushs and sometimes a fullhouse, but only very occasionally. Straights, fullhouses he wouldve brought it in already before (sets on flop & turn usually wouldnt just call on this boards I guess). Overpairs and 2 pairs he probably wouldnt shove here vs my line but no one knows. Some Villains would do - I mean, i was close to tilt when I started the session before because there are SO many super-bluffy aggressive players out there.
