Turns out to be a good fold. The guy played his hand goofy in my opinion and could have won more chips.
And to be honest I probably would have played your hand different too.
Theres like 875 in the pot and the guy bets 250? seems weird to me.
In a way, this is a good hand to talk about, even though you were beat and made a good laydown on the turn. I think betting around 400 on the flop is probably a better play than check calling.
Check calling doesn't give you any information about what they guy has, he could easily hold a hand like 10-10, J-J, Ak suited(actually Q-Q is statistically the least likely hand he would hold), maybe even a medium pair.
Betting out I think would define your hand more, if you get raised, dump it. A lot of times you stand a decent chance of picking up the pot right there with a lead out bet.
It turns out you made a very good laydown on the turn (helped out by the dodo who goes from betting 250 to 1500
). If he bets like 600 I think it's much tougher for you to lay it down.
Kind of an interesting hand to think about. Tell us more about your thought process in this hand.
- Did you have any previous reads on this guy?
- Was he playing loose, tight, etc.
- What did you think about the smallish bet on the flop?
- Then the much bigger bet on the turn?
What's everyone else think about how this hand played out?? Am I the only one who leads at the flop?
