So I was reviewing hands today and this one stood out because of the monotone flop making it a bit trickier for me to play.
I make a continuation bet, as I do not want to worry too much about the monotone flop. My thought pattern with these types of flops are "if I am scared of them, surely everybody else is?". Perhaps the bet sizing could have been a bit smaller though as I'd expect villain to fold most hands here without a FD.
On the turn I fire a second barrel, again with similar thinking to the flop. I think he is folding anything but a spade or a queen at this point.
On the river I fire a third barrel as I thought that the king picks up a lot of hands that I could get some value from. However, reflecting now, it appears that the only hands this may be was KJ or KT. He would have certainly bet AK, and KQ beats me here. Anything else he would have folded OTF or OTF, unless he was drawing. In which case I wonder if a check would have been better here or at least a smaller bet. When he reraises me I'm stuck between thinking that he is playing a broken flush draw, a flush or a set.
Writing that made me think that my AA was really just a bluff catcher and in hindsight I should of folded... did I get lucky or did I go bust? As always I shall show a little later on
