DID I OVERPLAY THIS HAND?

Hello Again...


Well I proceded to take it up the stinky again today.. Not to mention another day with no lube.. This is not something that I want to get used too here....Anywhoo...


Here is hand that I was really proud of how I played cause I had the perfect read.. Now I am wondering if I overplayed the hand. Lets see what the forum thinks..


10-20 game.. We are six handed at the time.


2c brings in for $3

All fold to a Kd who raises to $10. ( A VERY agressive player )


Im next to act with Ac(KsKc). I re-raise to $20.

last person to act folds( a 7 I think but irrelevant ) Opponent with Kd calls the $20.


4th Street

(KcKs)AcAs --ME

I decide to bet the small $10 bet. Opponent raises to $30. I re-raise to $50 He goes to $70. I go to $90. He goes to $110 ( I am positive of his holding now. ( other Aces and Kings now )) I just call the $110 now.


5th Street

------------

(KcKs)AcAsQh --ME ( purrfect )

I bet $20 again ( knowing full well with my Q I had the best hand ) He raised to $40. THIS KEPT ON TILL IT WAS $200 AND HE JUST CALLED...


6th Street

(KcKs)AcAsQhQs --ME ( Again Thank You )

I bet $20 again.. He raised again to $40. Now I know he is behind right now, but I also know he has 4 hearts to go with his hand. I decide that since I am still best I'm re-raisin to $60. We got into a raising war till he was all-in at $130.


River I caught rag and of course he caught a heart and made the flush...


Was I too agressive anywhere. ( particularly 6th )

$460 down the toilet in one pot heads-up in a 10-20 game.

$925 pot total.

I was very unhappy! Not as unhappy as the dealer though, that guy didn't even tip her....

Tough hand. You still have a large edge on sixth street, large enough to push as hard as he'll let you. No matter how live his hearts are, he's a significant dog to make his flush, and you have a full house redraw (assuming that there is a Queen or two left for you to catch). That is a pretty big swing for one hand at this level, but the only point at which I'd slow down is on fourth street, which you did. Once you catch the Queen on fifth you again have a large edge, and I'd never stop raising.

You'll win this hand about 75%-80% of the time. Sadly, it will never happen to you again.


Perfectly played.

Just ran 50000 simulations from 6th to 7th - you will win 78.5% and your opponent will make his flush 21.5% of the time (not counting any dead cards) so you´ve been correct in raising.


However, since this is such a rare situation, you might also have called on 6th after your edge has diminished to keep your swings down, after all you already charged him on 5th.

If you can't push in your stack with a 4:1 edge, you're playing too big for your bankroll.

I believe you played fine. Your opponent's play was trible until the 6th, when because he had only 130 left, his pot odds became excellent (7 to 1 for making his 4 to 1. dog flush.)

Correction:


6 to 1 pot odds ,not 7 to 1( 130 to win 795.)

No, his opponent's raising on sixth street was terrible. He's only getting even money on a 4:1 shot. He could have gotten himself huge pot odds by just calling on sixth.

If you are not going to push a 78% favorite for maximum betting in order to keep your swings down, should you even play poker?


This sounds like saying don't raise with aces to keep your swings down.
