Since IndySteve made a smallish bet here, my plan was to raise enough to knock out the BB, get it heads-up and see a flop. Then, if no overcards flopped, move in on him.
I think I made a horrible play in raising so much preflop...I essentially committed myself to the pot, and may as well have moved all in. However, still 6-handed, that was NOT a move I wanted to make preflop.
Though in this case we probably would have ended up all-in on the flop and the end result would have been the same, I still hate my preflop raise.
Considering the BB was a fairly reasonable player (i.e., would fold to a reasonable raise), and I don't believe IndySteve's bet was enough to knock out the BB, what do you think would have been a reasonable raise on my part to accomplish getting heads-up but not being pot committed.
Or, do you see an entirely different way to play this hand?
Thanks
Janis
