Default ARG!

.50/1.00 NL at Planet Poker. Full game. I am BB with K6 h. UTG bet, MP call, the rest fold, sb call. I check. Flop 9Q7h. All check. Turn blank. All check to me. Bet 15. UTG Fold. MP Raise 15. SB Fold. Now what? I have 85. MP has me covered. Comments?

Why did you bet $15 into a $4 pot?

The wrong read. MP did not raise before the flop with AJh. I compounded my error by putting him on a check raise bluff. So I raise all in and get shown the nut. I got trapped. I expect he is still chuckling.

Most of the on line NL games I have played are extremely passive before the flop. Everyone seems to want to see the flop cheap. A modest raise folds the table. The average pot is tiny. No one wins much unless someone, like me this time, committs a major error. I have been passive too, unwilling to risk a few bucks probing pre flop, but I am going to change that. No raise before the flop turns NL into No Fold'em. Who knows what will happen then?
