This hand occured like a week ago and its been bugging me ever since, so I thought I should ask you guys. I've actually got a two part question about this hand:
The villain is a very solid player that I think plays better than me, he's 26/18/2.9.
Please answer the first question without looking at the results, and then look at them for the second question.
1) How horrible was my turn check? I know it was bad, I can't go check/calling everytime a scare card comes. And I don't even know why the K is that big of a scare card after a flop cap. Does anyone tuck their tail here and check/call it down against an aggressive player?
2) How good was his line? I think I like it a lot the only problem with it is that against an aggressive player (myself) he's not going to get to check behind on that turn very often at all. He gets that free card maybe 1 time in 10. Is this a line anyone would use against a tight aggressive opponent?
Oh also you can mock me for the river call to but I know thats a problem with my game and am working to fix it.
