Forgot i posted this before I left for holidays.

I suspect this hand might be too read-based... I had a fairly good read on this player after playing lots of pots with him and generally paying good attention. I should have gone with my read and raised the turn to something like ~$275 and not put in any more money -- as a sort of pre-emptive blocking bet/ protecting my hand against a draw. I wouldn't like to face a pot bet on most rivers since he could be holding a lot of draws.

In the hand I thought for a short while and called.


River: ($340) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $350</font>

I thought for a while, at this point I got a gut-feeling telling me probably wouldn't bet a missed draw here, but he might have a king... I dunno... i used my timer and then folded. He showed 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Yuck.

TY for the responses.

I don't think you should beat yourself up for failing to protect against a 2 outer. although you should consider whether this guy is overbetting a heart river as well.
