Awful Play By Me?

edited July 2012 in The Poker Clinic

Looking Back this was probably awful play but the reason I raise on the flop is because I cannot give him credit for having 9X as i dont think he bets the pot with this hand. So I try and rep this hand (or 77-JJ) type hand. He then calls me (I think i make my raise too small?) and I have 3 options on the turn:

1) Give up on the hand - I dont like this as as I said I think he rarely has 9X as personally I think my raise looks strong so I think he would just try and get the money in there and then.
2) Shove - £5 pot and £5 im shoving (basically) so he only has to fold 1/2 times for this to be profitable, right? I think he will fold more than he calls. Also when he does call (like he did) i am likely to still have some outs.
3) bet about £3 - I get better odds on him folding as i am risking less but if he shoves it is awkward and i probably have the odds just to call so may aswell shove myself instead of allowing him to shove.

Thourghts Please?

    Fold pre calling with q10 out of position can get you into a lot of trouble.  Im definately not donk leading this flop as we can rep nothing then when he raisies the flop you decide to call the reraise with q high out of position with no plan for the turn then call the allin with q high.  Not having a dig at you just advising that playing the hand like this will get you into so much trouble.

    Thanks for the advice but you have misread the hand history. I didnt call pre, I was the aggressor all the way through the hand lol!

    Lol yer haha, I just think he rarely has a 9 and I wanted to push him off. 

    The reason for all in is i picked up some outs on the turn.
