Here is a BB play, from a 50+5 at Party.
In backgammon, there is the "blunder follows blunder" rule:
A cube error is usually followed by a bad checker play. This observation may apply in poker as well...
I was dealt K9o in the BB. Early position miniraised, and it was folded to me. I was saying to myself "lets pay 100 to see the flop, I might be able to double up on the suckers expense". well, it turned out that I was the sucker...
Preflop: looks like an easy fold in retrospect. I am dominated by too many hands, and the rest of the time I am a substantial dog. If that isn't enough, I am crippled out of position.
Flop: I think my bet was fine. gotta give him a price to draw (overcards or flush, straight draw not likely here), or call incorrectly with middle or bottom pair.
After reraise: My first reaction is "overpair", but the only pocket pair that would justify a min raise is AA (trap play). I would expect a bigger raise to protect hands like QQ KK from overcards. JJ and TT are possible, even tough a bigger raise would seem better.
he might have an A9 that beats me as well.
on the otherhand, he might be betting a flush draw with an A such as A2s, or two overcards or even 88 or lower PP.
I also beat T9 J9, that he might (though not likely from EP min raise esp if suited).
