This is a hand that came up today where I'm not sure I'm happy about how I played it on a single street. I discussed the hand briefly with Monk, but now that I check the hand history, it turns out that I REALLY butchered the details in my conversation with him For one thing, I claimed to have had KKQJ or something so that he wouldn't make fun of my preflop call.
Some quick backround : I was playing at a table where about 75-80% of the pots got raised preflop...BUT, almost all of these raises were either from me or Kamikaze (who isn't involved in this hand). The rest of the table was playing very passively preflop. I was playing a fairly ridiculous 75% of my hands, often for a raise, so my opponents viewed me as a bit wild. When my opponent raised preflop, I put him on an AA type of hand, perhaps a bit too hastily.
On the flop, I didn't want to give my opponent an easy chance to fold, so I decided to check-call and hope he continued to bet his (assumed) AA into me. The turn made me cringe...and the fact that my opponent checked behind didn't really tell me much. He could have picked up the nut boat, or he could just be giving up on the hand after his flop-bet failed. On the river, I bet about 1/3 of the pot, hoping to get value from something like an AKxx for top two...and I figured if my opponent raised, I was beaten and could fold. When he did raise, I had trouble following through with this plan, but I did fold and now I wonder if that was too weak-tight?

P.S. Monksta, perhaps you want to give this another analysis since the hand played out a bit differently than I remembered?Statistics: Posted by TightWad — Sun Aug 07, 2005 6:10 pm
