Hey guys,
here is another hand of mine and I'd like to know what you think about it.
My thoughts are:
Pre-Flop: The 3-bet is fine. I'm on the button and would like to isolate one of the players. I'm not sure about the sizing though. Maybe 9 BBs is not enough to isolate reliably (as in this case), but do I really want to put more than that into the pot? It would actually be fine to take down a small pot with a small C-Bet, right?
Flop: I think this C-Bet is pretty standard play (although maybe a liittle low) and after UTG calls, I put him on A4s, A6s, 22-TT, AJs+ and also flush draws with JTs+ in clubs.
Turn: I am almost certain that his hand did not improve but I do not want to barrel again while he could have Trips or better. So I decided to keep the pot small. Plan for River: Fold to bets.
River: I bet again after his check and today I think this is not a good play. There is almost no worse hand he would call this bet with, while there are some hands I would lose my entire stack to. I should have just checked behind to find either a missed draw or a reasonable hand, with which he would have called the push. He may have folded 33 or 55, but those are only a fraction of his range.
