NLH B&M Tournament. $125 Buy-in.
Quick background on my style. I am ultra tight, but am very aggressive. Usually too aggressive which I think I was here. I will, 99% of the time, after raising pre-flop, bet post-flop regardless of what comes up. Unless I absolutely feel the flop hit someone else.
Blinds are 50-100 and I haven't seen a flop yet. I have T1650 (start with T2000) look down in MP and find AK of clubs. One limper to me, I raise T400 to make it T500 to go. All fold back to the limper who just calls. The last pot he was involved in, he moved all in pre-flop and got no callers and proudly showed his hand with pocket sixes. I really can't put him on a hand. He is unkown to me and I can't forget the sixes.
Anyway, flop comes 474, one club. He checks to me, I would like the hand to end now so I push all in fully expecting him to fold. Of course he beat me in the pot and turned over his A7 offsuit. No miracle King and I am out.
Am I way off track here with my play or did I just run into an unfortunate hand? Do I need to adjust my strategy.
I thought about a smaller bet but if I bet the pot, I am committed anyway. If I make a smaller bet, I look weak and he is going to move in on me anyway but I guess I could fold. I would have had a hard time folding in that situation.
Your thoughts?
