Party $25 NLHE
After running for a quick bathroom break, i come back facing a $5 raise preflop from a MP player (no real read on him yet) ($60) (I was in LMP w/ $65) and lovely A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif A /images/graemlins/club.gif. Since my ticker was almost up I had to think quick and I decided to smooth call (mistake #1??)
No other callers, flop: Q /images/graemlins/spade.gif 8 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 2 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
He checks and I bet $7 into a $11 pot (too small a bet??mistake #2??)
He smooth calls which sets of an alarm in my head.
At that moment I was thinking either AK of spades, or more likely bc of the very large pf raise, pocket QQ for a set.
Turn: 7 /images/graemlins/spade.gif /images/graemlins/frown.gif
MP: Goes all in for about $45 more.
Have aces...must...call...but i resisted.
I think I was killed here, possibly drawing dead w/o the ace spades, or drawing to a two outer on the river as I think he had the set of ladies and he didnt want the fourth spade coming out in case I had the A or K of spades.
How was my play on this hand, and more importantly, what did he have?
For future play on Party do I reraise in this position every time when I am the favorite or smooth call . On this hand if he did have QQ my reraise would have just givin him more of my stack as I dont think anyone would fold a reraise w/ QQ on party.
