Default Re: A Hand I Misplayed (I Think)

Yeah, that's a pretty ugly scenario, as a whole. Given the preflop and flop action, I'd be astonished if you were ahead here all that often when the minraise comes back to you on the flop. The worst hand that I'd imagine MP having given all of this is AK; I think he'll frequently have AT, TT, 88, or even AA. (Looking at the turn, AA seems impossible.) The A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] being out means flush draws are somewhat less likely. So, painful as it may be, I think a fold might be in order to the minraise, because it seems like calling that bet is basically deciding to go broke with this hand. With that A on the turn, I think you're going to be splitting or losing to a boat usually, so again, I think it's a tough fold. Maybe I'm just not creative enough and I'm giving MP too much credit, but I have a hard time imagining what else you're going to see here - KK?

The rest of the decisions in this hand seem a little tricky; at least I'm not sure right away what I would do. I'd consider reraising PF (not sure about that), and while I think leading out on the flop was probably right given the PF action, I think I'd lead out smaller.
