Default Re: How bad was this laydown?

where I really went wrong was not following through with my preflop plan. I called in position hoping a couple things.
1) an ace comes and he doesn't have one.
2) He's on 2 unpaired big cards and all low cards come on the flop.
3) I can flop a big hand and bust his big pair.

Um, adjusting your read to what would be convenient based on the flop is a sure way to lose a lot of money. Thinking "I'm going to bust his big pair" and "I can win this pot if it comes down low cards because his AK is no good" and "if an ace comes I can push him off his hand" simultaneously seems to indicate that you're unhealthily obsessed with taking down the pot once you call preflop, as you're seeking to justify putting in money with 710 offsuit.
