When you don’t get rivered

Opps, I totally missed this. On the flop his bottom pair bluff is interesting but as soon as he gets callers and raised on the turn, it's time to quit.

He only got one caller, the goofy PFR. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Ok, I give up – he played horrible. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I don't think this is a good hand to slowplay and trap BB for more bets. Your very vulnerable to overcards and I think this needs to be played aggressive on the earlier streets. This will also help reduce the amount of suckouts you see b/c other players will have the opportunity to fold.

Bear in mind that the hand was heads-up when the action got to me on the flop. This is the only street I didn’t bet or raise.

I still don't feel comfortable calling. Your opponent could have big unsuited cards or a smaller pair. 3 overcards that can call, I'd be more worried about protecting my hand than trapping for more bets.

If he has any of those hands, he won't fold to a flop raise, so you won't protect your hand by raising the flop. He probably protected his hand the best way possible by raising the turn. I think Pufferfish played this one OK.
