Should I have lost more or less if i played this hand perfectly - NL50

simonnatur

When someone hits a set and you have an overpair to that board,, the moneys going in.  Unlucky Simonatur 

To be honest i think you did well not to lose your stack

Welcome input on how I played this. Is there a line that costs me less, or is that missing the point?

No real reads, dont recall being involved in any big pots prior and player not been overly active. I was playing higher than normal as unable to multitable  - so unsure of regs, but recognised screen name either from lobbies or forum and assumed to be reg. rather than random

any reads?

I think both flop and turn are good, I'd maybe bet slightly more on the turn but 1/2 pot seems ok

Villain has played hand passively so I'd b/f £18 on the river

Villain has taken a passive line and then seems to bet for value on the river which is usually strong - Imo KK is rarely good here but I'd probz call in play with the odds you're getting

Think you lost the minimum really, though that seems more down to the fact villian played his set so passively. Always nice when they do that and cost you less. Think you smelled the set I'm guessing though considering a pretty dry board and two calls from him. Or if not a set you were dubious what he was up drawing to or calling with if not a big hand.

I think you played this hand pretty well mate. I like flat on flop it keeps pot under control, and their are no flush draws to get value from, or that may come to slow down action later unless runner runner of course.

When the flop bettor checks to you on the turn, I think you have to bet here to get value from 9s and 9s with flush draws. If I got raised here I would think I wasn't really beating anything. As I could hardly ever see them raising me here with anything less then a set or two pair.

On the river I don't see much value in betting in this situation. I cannot see them having a Queen or Jack that isn't two pair or a set considering they overcalled on the flop. When they bet you are only really beating a bluff in a situation where it seems very unlikely they are bluffing given the the play the hand played out and their bet sizing on the end. It's tough to fold though given the pot odds. Sonetimes you do have to fold,even though you are getting good pot odds, it is tough though. Don't be too hard on yourself.

If you had of raised 3x pre flop you could have lost a little less. That's an advantage of 3x, aswell as losing less if you get 3 bet and fold. But overall I think you played the hand pretty well.

River is prob a c/f but no one ever folds there
