Preflop is kind of marginal, but I think that someone raising 16% will fold a pretty large part of their range to a 3bet, utg 5 handed. I guess the problem with my hand is that it’s often dominated when I get a call…so this would be a better move with smaller suited connectors to avoid negative implied odds.
On the flop my bet must look pretty strong to him, so I don’t feel like he’s making this move as a bluff. I thought about it a long time, but laid it down because I put him on either a combo draw, pair+draw or set. Could I have played the flop differently?
. As a standard I like b/f. He might induced your squeeze with a strong hand or just have hit this flop hard. Nothing you can do.
