Hey all,
Interested in thoughts/comments on both player's play please...(of course we all know this turns out to be a bad beat story, but bear with me and comment anyhow please)
3 players in a home game NLHE tourney. All stacks are even at ~20xBB. I catch TT in the BB, button makes it 4xBB to go. SB folds. Now I'm heads up against a guy I've played w/ for many years and have a good read on: Loose-Aggressive. Possiblities, from most likely to least likely, for his hand are:
1)Complete steal
2)Ax
3)AA/KK
4)other PP < JJ
I push in, if he has AA/KK, so be it. He thinks...I'm happy, he doesn't have AA or KK. He calls, and turns over...KQo.
Board hits 4 clubs to make his Kc good...I am sad. Opponent says..."I really thought I was making a good call there"...I am on tilt. I generally think my opponent is a good player, but his call here seems insane to me. At best, he's got to figure he's a 54/46 dog, at worst he's completely dominated.
Anyhow, some specifics I'm interested in here...
1)My all-in preflop w/ regards to hand/stack size/number of players...would a different bet have been better?
2)His all-in call...maybe I'm missing something, because I don't see any sense in it.
Thanks in advance.
