no reads as just got moved to table - although did have a hand where he called my bluff literally the hand before with A high- this was reason for overbet at end- oopsy

just let me know what you think of the hand and how i played it..

The_Don90

Ah i think you played it well.

You got unlucky. You you used the bluff the hand before to good use unfortunetly that was your downfall i suspect.

beaneh

played great, sucks when they get there.

You played it great all along- no need to get lairy preflop, 109os is a nice hand to see the flop with. Opponent with K10s shouldn't have given you the chance though and should have raised pre, IMO. Good bet on flop since your hands vulnerable (can't fault the call with such a big draw) and excellent reraise on turn to crush out draws. Unfortunately, you're up against a fish clearly- that was a bad call, he has around a 17% chance to hit and it's costing him another 3000 to win 10800 total. He's only invested 2400 of a strong stack, so he has no need to gamble, and sure- he hit, but you played the whole thing great, especially the river by using your reads on him.

Just remember that long term, you'll love playing against these players, since you'll come out ahead. They hit that hand roughly 1/6 times- so for every time you go broke, on another 5 occasions you'll end up taking down a sizeable pot, and possibly even more on the river if they decide to get a bit aggro with their busted draw.
