Default Re: Did I play this way too weak?

Hey Jon,

First, I believe you mean you're down to T1200, and not 120.

After trying to buy the pot on the turn, with your 3rd pair and OE, if you get check-raised by SB, even if it's a mini-raise (or even more because of it), I would be absolutely sure you're behind there. Without any specific read, he can have a medium Ax and got his 2p now, other 2 pair, made straight, a SP set, even just a nakes A (I see moves like this with TPWK). I would consider folding. You're drawing for 10 outs, some of them might not win you the hand, and you're pretty low and get 4.2:1 on the pot, not amazing (I guess it's OK in a ring game, if you *know* he doesn't have the straight or TT, and of course AA).

Pushing as a bluff is not an option, IMO.

On the river, I check too. At retrospect, you know he was afraid you've got an ace, but I think he woud have called anyway with his 2P, so there's no point in betting. I wouldn't bluff here.

Only my opinion,

PrayingMantis
