I'm heading to AC in a few weeks, and I don't plan on playing any higher than 5/10 out there due to bankroll considerations, so I decided to take a step down to some real low limit online stuff to get me back into the mode of low limit b&m games. I haven't posted a hand on here in a while, so I figure I'll post a few over the next few weeks as I'm brushing up.
The following hand occurred at a UB .25/.50 table. It seems fairly straigtforward, but it made me think for a few seconds, hence the post.
I'm in MP with KJ. EP limper, I limp, button raises, big blind and limpers call. 4 to the flop for 8 SB's.
Flop brings KQ4r. Checked to me, I bet, button calls, BB folds, EP calls.
Turn brings an offsuit 2. Now, the EP player bets into me. I call, as does the button. I almost always raise here, but I just decided to call. I was confused as to why the EP would all of the sudden bet into me, and I figured I may be behind here to a set or two pair now. Part of the reason for this post was that I'm trying to get into my head the concept that most opponents aren't very tricky, and a change of pace like this caused me to just call.
River brings an ace. Not good. EP checks now, as do I, and button (as I figured) bets. EP calls, and I fold now that its protected.
I'm not really sure about my play on any street here. On the flop I bet into the preflop raiser, rather than checking and having it possibly get checked through. The turn brought a blank, and all of the sudden the agressor changes. I was thrown off here, so I just called. The river brought the big time scare ace, which I was almost certain the button would like... hence the check/fold. I'll post results in a post below.
