Last night playing in 200$ Masters on Paradise ... nice tourney 2500 to start, 30 min blinds, some overlay, so nice and slow ... lots of bad play since a lot of people qualify through satelites and paradise doesn't let you unregister
I just took a decent size pot with AA (didn't show) on the TT flop with the villian calling large raise preflop and giving it up on the flop with a half pot size bet.
Blinds are 15/30 and both of us have a little over 6K in hips. Average right now is at 3K. Still a long way too go in the tourney.
He min raises from cut off, I call in SB with 98o. BB folds. Flop comes in 986. He likes to bet so I quite sure I am going to see a continuation/steal bet and want to check raise. He bets 1K into a 150 pot. I was rather suprised by the bet, now I am thinking maybe it was a typo. But back them I was just what the hell was that.
So I decided I didn't want to gamble too much at this point since I had a lot of chips and time. I got moved soon after that so I didn't get a read on if he likes to overbet with nuts or mediocre hands, but this hand is still bugging me.
If I am going to play 98o what kind of flop do I want to get all my money in besides the nuts.
Was I too defensive? He might have been betting high pair, pissed with himself because of only min raising preflop. Or he could have flopped a set and didn't want to give me a straight draw and was afraid of me taking away this pot from him.
Can I get some opinions here?
