Default Re: I played this hand so bad

With this size stack, do you flat call with anything else? JJ, TT, maybe?

Edit: i guess it doesn't matter much because if he hits the flop for TPTK or TP2K, he's giving you his stack whether he thinks you're probably trapping or not. And if he flops a decent draw, it probably gets in there just as easily.

The real question is whether he folds enough hands to the raise that pay you off when they hit one pair to make up for

1. letting those same hands see the flop and outflop you

plus

2. letting high cards or medium pairs that miss the flop or flop overcards get away when they would have put money in preflop.

Seems too likely you are giving up too much value preflop, given that most hands miss most flops and your flat call declares too much strength to assume a continuation bet will come from a solid player who misses the flop. What about a minraise or close... to say 2500 or 2800? Tough for him to lay down a decent hand for 1200-1500 more, builds a pot and confuses just enough to get him to give you his stack when he flops decent.
