It's a 15-30 kill pot. I am in cutoff. Killer is in SB. He is loose, aggressive. I am tight, and appearing very tight since I haven't got many cards to play in previous few hours. Comments on all streets appreciated. (The turn is the play that is bothering me.)
Folded to me - I have pocket 3s and raise:
- Relatively low chance that poster will fold, but I figure that I am enough better than his random hand to make this worthwhile?
Folded to SB who reraises. BB folds, I call.
SB would reraise with many hands in this situation - QJ etc.
Flop - 10 10 7, with 2 diamonds.
SB bets, I raise, SB calls. I raised because:
- I think there is a decent chance I have the best hand.
- I have been very tight, and I figure that my raise will look scary to him. (And I want to play!). I do not often play this aggressively, and small blind would know that.
The turn is a Jd, for a board of 10, 10, 7, J with 3d.
SB thinks for a while and checks. I quickly check. In retrospect, I think I should have bet after such a pause on the SB's part. He is aggressive and the check probably means he has very little (although he does check raise). At the time I just wanted to get to the river, and did not like the idea of deciding whether to call a checkraise.
River is something like a black 5.
SB bets, I call. After my check on the turn, SB is almost an auto bet, so I figure I have a call.
Results later.
Thanks for any comments!
