Horrible play and an expensive reminder
Here's a hand from last night. I made two extremely newbish mistakes (and they probably cost me the final table):
A Don't put a big stack on the line with TPTK
B Don't put your opponent on a hand - put him on a range of hands
Very basic stuff, but I bet people misplay hands like this all the time, hence me posting this.
There's another obvious problem here too, let's see if you can spot it.
Stacks and pots are rounded off. UTG seems average.
Pacific 15 K Guaranteed. Blinds 500/1000. Hero is BB with 28,000.
Hero is dealt AQh.
Preflop:
UTG (stacksize 21,500) raises to 2,000. Player in early middle (stacksize 3,000) goes all-in. Hero calls. UTG calls and reraises another 2,500. Hero calls.
Flop (pot 14,500): Tc 4d Jd
Hero checks, UTG bets 5,000. Hero calls.
Turn (pot 24,500): Qs
Hero checks, UTG bets 10,000. Hero calls.
River (pot 44,500) blank.
Hero checks, UTG bets 500 (all-in), Hero calls.
Edit: fixed messed up HH
