Calling the raise? As i look back, i think my call pre-flop was rather terrible, as most the time i'll probably end up folding to a c-bet on the flop.
The Flop? This was the dream flop for me, as an Ace was highly likely in Shabaz's range, so i checked across. To see a check back. I immediatly thought the ace hadn't improved his hand, but scared him.
The Turn? Should i have lead out when i made my full house, or was checking again correct. I wasn't to happy with the 2nd Ace as i found it hard initially to think of a way to get paid, when he bet i thought the only way im going to get his whle stack is if i 3bet him on the turn. When he called my 3-bet i presumed he has a flush draw, i didn't think he would be capable of slopwplaying a higher house or better.
The River? When the heart came i was still unsure what to do being oop so i led out, hoping to get paid by a pocket pair that didn't believe me, then he shoved on me. I reluctantly called, and was surprised to see trip aces, expected to see a flush badly played. Should i have folded to his shove on the river? i was beaten by: AA, A6, A5, A7, 77, 66. There is probably an argument he had any one of those hands, but as stated i really felt he wasn't capable of slowplaying a real monster.
This was one of the weirdest hands i've played for a while, so many tricky spots. Please post your thoughts on my play and the hand.
At the river, it did cross my mind that he could have trip Aces, and tried to value bet. I also made the bet the right amount that it looks like i can be moved of my hand by a shove.
Again to slow to check turn, you need start building the pot if you want a decent pot and its unlikely you will get that if you get to river,
So other then limp pre i would of played completely different, your just lucky he had AJ which they cant fold there.
Yeah, you do get times when players will call of with absolute junk. But, against certain players it is surely not optimal to ''bet when you have it, fold when you don't'' as even at the micro stakes you do get players that aren't stupid
. I think if he caught something worth betting he would of here, i.e. an Ace or a flush draw. Given the pre flop raise. (however, he didn't bet his Ace on the flop which surprised me). Just for your information, if he had c-bet the flop i was planning on a big check raise to get the money in. On the turn i do think my play was somewhat questionable, given that i wanted max value on my hand.
Thanks for the replies guys. I think there is a variety of ways i could play this hand, which is why i posted on here. At least i got max value on my hand in the end
