Got a barrage of abuse for this.....
not just from seat 5 but from other seats also. I was called a fish, donk amongst other names, therefore it begs the question. Have I missed their point or did they miss mine.

I ended up sitting at the table trying to defend the play but it fell on deaf ears. I should have just apologized and carried on.
Views please. Thank You

Interesting play pre but hey ho worked out in the end
flop is fine.
Dont tap on the aquarium
it worked this time only and wont often work, ok to do once in blue moon but if keep doing it in this spot to people with AK or a tight range he will definately lose in the long run
Put to me why u think its all good?
As for abuse, its because they lost to an unorthodox hand. Just laugh and count their money. You pay in, you play it how you like. I fear you lose more than you win like this tho.
Firstly whats with the 5BB bet on the button, has this been a table dynamic. In isolation most would expect a standard 3bb button raise here. By making it 5BB are you trying to show perceived strength, or just take the blinds down.
Now given what you are trying to do with your button raise (show strength or take blinds as you perceive your hand is vunable), what do you make of the fact when the SB reraises you. What impression did he have of your hand.
If he thought you were strong , then he's told you he thinks he's stronger.
Does he consider that the higher than standard raise means that your hand is vunerable, and he thinks he can take it down with anything.
So the question is what did you think you were up against when reraised. Did you think you were behind and thus you called hoping to hit something on the flop.
Dont have a problem with trying to take it down from the button pre flop, but you got an answer to your raise, and by calling it you were gambling that you would hit on the flop, and I think I'd have said to myself ok I tried I got caught and made the fold pre flop
Once the flop comes I'm doing same as you here, but the pre flop play could be deemed as questionable.
As for abuse aside from the fact that there's no need for it anyways, the other guy could have applied all those terms that he gave you to himself for his post flop play
i get how deep they both are but dont think defending with 79 suited is the way to go, maybe in a multiway pot but i think its wasting too many chips here as played. this hand he got lucky and post flop was perfect but i dont think that will happen too often, say for eg. villain has AK suited here? its not really a good spot to be in, vs loose opponents we want to tighten up and same against a TAG imo get in cheap and then outplay them postflop but calling a 3 bet here is not good even vs this 1 opponent over time.
I dont hate the play again but i think you should be tightenning up here evven if you have position, maybe K10 suited and similar hands you can defend to his 3 bet
you dont need to defend why/how you play your hands just ignore them, or just say 'ty' to super tilt them
Plus he makes a terrible lead and call on the flop. I wouldnt advocate the same line at higher stakes, but if your comfortable fishing at that level go for it.
Funnily you hear people say you have to bet bigger at those stakes in most threads. Which you did, just not with a preemy
