PFM,

Thanks. So far, not a lot of commentary on the hand. Anything?

You might get better feedback here

If the button is tricky why didn't the alarm bells go off when he smooth called you post flop?

[PokerForMath]

If I broke some rule I am unaware of, apologies.

I am sorry if this came off as a bad beat post, I really was not thinking of it that way. I was asking if anyone would have tried to check it down after the flop action given the board or given information about strassa.

Or, is it just obvious that I was crushed on this hand and that's that.

Difficult situation, and maybe the smooth call should have set off alarm bells.

My thought process at the time was, if I check he is going to bet for sure and it's not going to be a small bet, so I am going to either fold or end up getting all my money in. So I thought like this:

The flop is 7-9-T

1) he cannot possibly have J-8, 7-9 or 7-T
2) maybe he has 9T
3) he could easily have JQ, QK, 88 or even AK given his style

I screwed up check-raising so little,

Thoughts?

I was just fing w you.

I'm surprised he would call your reraise with that cheese, but most hands that call that flop bet after that PF action have you in trouble. I guess JJ or 88 could be possible given PF action, and I probably check turn and reevaluate, but I'm probably losing a fair amount of money on the hand too.

PFM,

I am surprised you did not include 77, 99, TT in your analysis.

As for your thought process and action, well, I don't really get it at all.

Diablo: My basic question is this. Had you been in this situation, when he called your check-raise on the flop, do you put him on a hand that beats you or do you think he is drawing? If you think he is drawing, what can you bet on the turn?

I had 3K left and my thought was that he is going to bet to a check on the turn whether or not he is drawing and I need to bet at least 1/2 my remaining stack to have any chance to prevent him from continuing to draw, but with a 7-9-T flop he probably has more than the usual eight outs, so to really make the price wrong we are talking a 2K bet at which point I might as well move in.

Given his style of play I leaned toward his not having a made hand. Was this a mistake?

Any thoughts?

Any at all?

PFM,

"I had 3K left and my thought was that he is going to bet to a check on the turn whether or not he is drawing ... I might as well move in."

Still don't get it.
