FPS or well played?
This is a hand I played last night in a very good, fairly
loose passive 20-40 game at Bay 101. To me, the hand stood out as a little odd, and I would like some feedback on whether you thought it was played well or if you think I was trying to find some excuses for making some fancy plays. Anyway, here it is: 9 handed, fairly loose game. UTG folds. I am next with 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and limp. The action is folded to a solid player in middle position, who is a little on the loose side. He raises. His preflop raises have not been out of line, but they do not necessarily mean big pairs, either. He has been raising with big cards, as well as wired pairs. The action is folded around to the blinds, who both call. Four to the flop. The flop comes 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and the action is checked to me. I bet. MP raises. This player is capable of raising with big cards here to buy a free turn and drive the other players out. The blinds fold, and I call, with the intent of betting any turn that is not an ace. If I get raised on a blank turn, I can be almost 100% sure he has an overpair to my 8s. If I get called, I think there is a very high chance that my hand is best, although there are quite a few turn cards which may make him afraid to raise an overpair, such as a 6, a 7, an 8, or a heart. Heads up to the turn. The turn brings the 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Whoops. To be perfectly honest, I was not anticipating improving on the turn. But going along with my original plan, I bet. If he raises me there, I plan to call and bet any river. I think that this player is capable of folding an overpair to a 3-bet on the turn, and I would like to get one more bet out of him if I can. If he just calls, I plan to bet a heart, 6, or 7 on the river, as these cards may scare him into checking behind with a hand he otherwise would have bet. I will try to checkraise any other card. He may bet AK here hoping I will fold a busted flush draw that picked up a small pair, and he will definately bet an overpair. He may also make a total bluff with something like KQ, hoping I will fold an ace high flush draw that missed or a small pair. He thinks for a minute, smiling at himself. He appears to be amused by the situation. Finally he weakly calls. I can tell that he hopes that I have a heart draw. The river brings the Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Check check, he shows AK. So was this hand played well, or was my reasoning totally wrong in one or more spots? |
