Hello,
Here I suppose that preflop I should have 3bet of fold preflop rather than call. Was pretty sure that Im ahead until the river where my hand became a bluff catcher. Really not sure if I should have called or not. Villain did the same thing to me from absolutely same positions 8 hands prior to this one where he was check-calling and then lead big on a paired river 26AK2.
The thing for me is that based on my actions, everything screams that I have an ace and he should know that. If he knows that, why would he make a big bluff knowing that I have top pair. Does he know from somewhere that Im likely to fold vs such bets when a scare card comes? I doubt it. Or maybe he just doesnt care and decides to bluff nevertheless.... One more thing is that I read the people dont bluff enough on these stakes so its more likely that they aren't so I think this affects my decisions in such cases as well
Now that I look at the hand again, as played preflop, I think my bets OTF and OTT should have been bigger. Perhaps 8.5K OTF. And then maybe push 35K into 30K pot?
Please advise
