Um...this is an embarassing 1st hand from a Party $10+1.
At first I like the flop bet. But, now that I think about it, I have a clear drawing hand and should not have been building the pot. I doubt my hand is best, but I have the open-ended straight (might be no good) and the backdoor flush draw, top pair with no kicker. I figured make a bet to establish I like my hand and keep these guys from dancing around the pot with minbets.
When I'm reraised...I just sort of turn of my brain and call along. I'm guessing I have to fold to this reraise, assume a made straight or two pair? And then I should certainly fold to the push, because now it's very clear my hand is no good...right?
(If this situation were different and I was getting good pot odds, could I call; i.e. should you go by profitable odds if losing ends your tournament?)
So yeah, pretty sure calling the reraise and the all-in are no good. But how should I have played the flop? Thanks,
Blue
