2 NL hands, that occurred 4 hands apart, with th esame opponent. Curious as to whether you agree with my play.
Near the end of level 4, blinds are 30/60. I am the chip leader with 2,550. 7 players left, all with very close to their starting stacks except for 1 other at 2,000. I am dealt Ks Js second to act. UTG raises it to 160. He has 1,010 at the start of the hand.
Does anyone play here? (Call or raise?) I have no reason to believe he is trying to steal.
I mucked, but not easily, should this be an automatic laydown? Does my chip position enter into your thinking here?
Everyone folded to him.
5 hands later we are at 50/100 now, I am still chip leader with 2,190. I get Ac Jc in the cutoff. Same guy on my right open raises to 250. What would you do in my position?
I called. thought about raising, but not seriously. BB calls too.
*** FLOP *** : [ 9c Qc 5h ]
Pretty good for me. 9 clubs to the Nuts, and maybe an Ace is good. Player to my right goes all in for 760. There is 650 in the pot already. The odds for the flush alone are very close, so I called. Good or bad??
I hit the flush on the river. He had KK.
Two hands somewhat similar, but the second hand I had better cards, and much better position. Did I play them allright?
