Top 2 against StopNGo

[River2Pair]

Pokerroom 3/6 this morning. Game is pretty tight-passive. BB in this hand has some gamble in him, is pretty aggressive, and seems to be catching some cards. I limp in EMP with ATo, four to the flop.

Flop is T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

BB bets, I raise, folds to BB who calls.

Turn is A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. He checks, I check.

River is 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

He bets. I raise. He 3-bets. I cap. He calls.

How's that?

I hate hate hate your turn check with a flush draw out against a loose player. You got him to get silly on the river, maybe with A3o or something, or maybe with two crappy spades.

Looks like your turn check resulted in a decent chance of you losing the pot without charging for the spade or set card.

Then again he could be going nuts with two pair. Hard to tell.

Why check the turn?

[sfer]

Too little action on the turn, too much action on the river.

Yeah, I didn't hate the turn check. I actually was BB. He let me have the pot for free, and I knew exactly what he held when he checked behind on the turn. I had 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. He then went on his little online smack talking spree about how bad I am for chasing runner-runner.

Him checking the turn was much worse than anything I did in this hand.

Just wanted to make sure I'm not losing my mind.

[img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I wouldn't exactly say I'm loose. I get involved in a hand about once every two orbits, and I like to keep the pressure on when I do.

I was planning to fold the turn unimproved, of course.

What? The post says you had A-10 off. Now you say you're the BB and had 8-4s?

So the hand history was just to point out that you were right for taking a free card with only a draw? Yeah, um, it was. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Okay, see. . . he basically called me an idiot. So I posted the hand from his perspective, so all you can call me an idiot, except the thing is you aren't really calling me an idiot, you're calling him an idiot. So I get a little ego boost by you all calling him an idiot when you called me an idiot. Oh, except he'll probably never see this. Doh. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I'm an idiot.

He's an idiot!
