I haven't posted many hands in the past, but I thought I'd get some opinions on this one. The game is Party's 25NL 6-max table. It's been a fairly normal game. I've been playing tighter than the rest of the table and capitalizing on my image by being aggressive. The times I've been called down, I was holding the winner. The villain just lost most of his stack to an all-in PF two hands before this one. He had reloaded to 25 right before this hand. Sorry for not using Bison's hand converter.
Blinds .25/.50
Button: BTN ( $41.75 )
SB: Hero ( $30.35 )
BB: BB ( $15.7 )
UTG: Villain ( $25.75 )
MP: MP ( $25.6 ) posted Dead Blind
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to Hero [ Kc Qc ]
Villain limps, MP checks, Button Raises to 1, all call
Flop [ 6c, 9c, Kh ] Pot: 5.00
Hero and BB check, Villain bets 5, fold, fold, Hero raises to 10, BB folds, Villain raises to 20, I push, Villain calls.
--I thought checkraising was best. I figured, based on the table and the flop, that someone would bet. Villains pot-sized bet without a bet PF told me no Ace, so Ax-clubs and AK were out. I raised villain to 1) push the BB out with my TP-flush draw, and 2) figure out where I stand against Villain. Villain's reraise was my problem. I put him on two-pair tops, but most likely Kx. As I said above, he took a tough loss two hands before and I'm thinking that he was on tilt. His chat comments led me to this conclusion.
Results (in white):
<font color="white">The turn brought a ten and the river brought a 4, both non-clubs. Villain flipped 87c for the turned straight and took the pot.</font>
Here's the questions that I have.
1) Should I have raised PF from the SB at a 6-max table?
2) Should I have bet-out the flop then reraised?
-I think I played the flop correctly, perhaps not raising enough.
3) Should I have pushed all-in or folded to the reraise?
I don't consider this a bad beat. I would just like to know if you all think I could have played it better. Go ahead and flame away...
