Default Re: Tunica Horseshoe - 20/40 Hand

What'cha think of Superstar's call?

It's not a good play but the bad thing is I understand it because I've made that mistake every now and then for the last ten years and I've just recently rid myself of it.

It goes like this:
He thinks hmm, "Why did (hero) just check behind on that flop after raising? The only hand that makes sense is KK or AhKh because he's not the type to just give up."
Then the turn comes and he thinks,
"Ok he's definitely slowplaying KK or AhKh, odd that he didn't reraise me though. Maybe he wants to keep UTG in."

With the board pairing on the river he obviously should have check-raised you once you bet but he just KNEW you had KK or a weird hand that wouldn't call.

About once a week I screwed up and got carried away with my hand reading when I held a good hand and I didn't make the right play as a result. I forgot that sometimes solid players do weird stuff and it's not necessarily that they flopped a monster. I've recently corrected that but I can at least see how an otherwise good player sometimes falls into that trap.
