could i have done anything different?
 

i have been 3-tabling paradise trying to clear GRANNY'S bonus and ran into this hand. D-REXNASTY is the villian and my read on him is just your typical calling station. he had actually donated a lot to me the past few days.

i ran into this hand and needed some advice on my post flop play. would you do anything different here? i think folding on the river here is WAY too passive but just curious on some other people's thoughts.

You played it fine.

Be sure to read the guidelines in the sticky at the top of the page for posting/converter/not naming villain etiquette.

Re: could i have done anything different?
 

Good hand. Villian played it like a total douche. He made a mistake calling this on the flop.

Re: could i have done anything different?
 

Actually the villian played the hand fine. The hero also played it fine. Good hand all around.

Re: could i have done anything different?
 

Yeah, he's getting over 20:1 to call.

Re: could i have done anything different?
 

I stand corrected about the flop call. He should have check raised the river.

Re: could i have done anything different?
 

yeah i wasn't upset with the way the Villian played, i was just wondering if i missed a maybe "hidden" way to protect my hand. it didnt look like it but i tend to overlook spots sometimes when evaluating my own hands. thx for the input.

Re: could i have done anything different?
 

Yeah, that's the first thing I thought when I saw the hand. Hero is lucky to have saved a BB here.

Re: could i have done anything different?
 

3-betting 33 from the BB is standard?
