| What would you have done differently?
I was playing in my weekly home NL Hold’em tournament this past weekend and I went out uncharacteristically early.
There were eight people still in the game and the blinds were 50 – 100. I was the big blind with 2500 in chips, and I was holding AQ suited. Player A, the chip leader with approximately 8000 in chips, limped in after two players folded. Player B, in the small blind limped in as well. I then raised to 300, and Player A called while Player B folded. Player A plays fairly loose and I felt pretty good about my hole cards, so I felt this was a good opportunity to take some of his chips away and I was happy how the hand had turned out at this point.
The Flop: A – K – 10 Rainbow
I felt really good about this flop. I didn’t feel Player A had an AA, KK, or AK hand because he always raises monster hands pre-flop, so I bet 600. Player A then paused for a minute then called.
The Turn: 10
Player A bets 1400 which will put me all in if I call. At this point I am caught a little off guard. So, I start to replay the hand in my mind. I came to the conclusion that Player A had either an A or K with some other useless card. He called two raises with one raise coming with an A and a K on the board, yet never reraised. So I decide to call the bet hoping he has the K which would explain his slight pause and I will win, but if he has the A I am looking at a split since the kicker K is on the board. We flip our hands over and Player A is holding 10-3!!!
The River: Freak’n Irrelevant!!
Should I have gone all in after the Flop? Did I make a mistake in calling his bet after the Turn? Is this just one of those cases were my opponent made bad calls but got lucky? Or did I just screw up this whole hand?  |
