Re: my least favorite situation in poker...400NL
Everyone says bet more on the flop, I agree somewhat, it is a weakish bet, but...I think villian is likely to have a-q or aj-10 suited. This is a standard play from a lot of online players, they will mini-raise on the flop to find out where they are at. So because Hero led weak at the flop it looked like a continuation bet, so it lead Villian to believe he was weak. Which let villian take control of the hand with a weaker hand than Hero, which is great. If he bets pot on the flop and Villian just calls, then comes the 3 on the turn, and Hero bets strong again, you would get him to lay down his weaker hand. No way Villian has 9s full here, who would bet so much with an almost unbeatable hand? Ace 9 is very rare considering how tight he is. I like a weakish lead on the flop..when he raises, just call...and then check raise that scared turn bet all in, because by then, he is committed.
