Hi Guys,

I want to discuss a hand that I played in a $1/2 cash game and got hit by a stupid river. Please tell me where I should have stopped playing this hand?

5 handed table:
Hero: UTG : K♦:T♥:
Villain UTG+1: A♠:A♦:

I raise to 6. All others call.

Flop : K♥:Q♦:6♦:

SB checks, BB checks, I bet 7. Call by Villain. Others fold.

Turn : T♣:

I bet 15 and Villain raises to 105. I re-raise to 179 and all-in. He calls

When I saw the AA, I was pretty happy as he has only roughly 16% chances.

River : 6♠:

he takes the pot with better 2 pair. People in the table were like don't worry mate it was hard luck. But was this hard luck or I screwed it with overbetting??

Thanks
Vignesh

If I say that its a fold pre for me, u will get angry??
With five guys... when UTG u are likely a MP in fact, but even this way... the borderline for me would be KJo to open as a std.

On the turn, w my bet raised like this, I would go to a hard time thinking, trying to figure out if I still ahead or not, using all the info at my disposal.
U end up doing the right play and stacking off way ahead villain... but variance saves him on river. It happens.

You never should have opened it to begin with unless you were targeting some kind of fish.

One thing I noticed...
If everybody called pre, the pot is 30 if my math is right. So I think if u are going to bet, have to bet it bigger... at least a bit more closer to half pot, like 12 or something.

Well, this table is full of them I guess hahaha
Since everybody called and them folded for a 7 dollars bet in a 30 pot.

I raised pre because I saw ppl re-raising with K6,K8 hands earlier and made note of it. It really pissed me off when they played that way. And I thought raising KT pre in that table would be correct. Any other table, I'm sure I would not have raised.

To be honest, it's very unlikely to see all 5 players just calling pre at nl200 and that 7$ of yours doesn't make sense either.

If you were rareised repeatedly you simply should've shorten your opening range waiting for "the" hand or at least avoid playing KTo OOP.

Waiting for "the hand" as u said kind sucks in live games. They are way slower, w few hands per hour.
I think the best move is to have an above average hand and start exploiting these guys as soon as possible.

Some nice piece of advice from Berezovaya. Has a point.
Even with your info, we should not expand too much our utg open range. There are too many players behind.
1 small note - do not tell us what villain had from the beginning. This can affect the analysis.

Honestly, you should have just folded pre flop. It's not hard luck. Villain had the best hand at the start, and he had the best hand at the end.

BUT, the worse hand when stakes went win. For me this is a HUGE difference, MrPink578.
