Online 2/4. There are several loose players at the table (and one extremely tight 2+2er who folds to turn raises too often). Extremely loose EP limps in and I raise in MP with Ah Kd. I get 3 bet by the cut-off and everyone folds back to the ELEP, who calls. I decided to 4 bet. My reasoning is the hands I'd seen the ELEP play have been horrible. I think his money is coming to me or the cutoff so putting another bet in here increases my EV in the long run. Does this make any sense? Both call.
*** FLOP *** : [ Tc 8s Jd ]
ELEP checks, I bet, CO calls and ELEP raises. I call and CO calls. I'm wondering if a fold was in order here.
*** TURN *** : [ Tc 8s Jd ] [ Qd ]
Who says prayer doesn't work. ELEP bet's, I raise, CO folds and ELEP calls.
*** RIVER *** : [ Tc 8s Jd Qd ] [ Jh ]
Aaack. ELEP bets, and I make a crying call. He had Th Jc.
So. Given that my read of the ELEP was right (He called 2 cold with JTo) is the 4 bet justified pre-flop?
What about the bet on the flop?
All comments appreciated.
