5/10 Nuts vs 2+2'r

[HoldEmKillah]

Perhaps this hand is standard and boring but he said I played it horribly. I just don't see any other reasonable way to play it so I'd like to know where the 'horrible' part is.

BB is a 2+2'r, a good player who I haven't seen get out of line but when he comes out firing it's often exactly a pot sized bet. I, on the other hand, have gotten out of line on a couple of occasions on both tables that we are at. Effective stacks ~$1300. Posting from memory...

BB: 2+2r
CO: Hero dealt AJo

Hero raises to $40, BB calls.

FLOP ($85): K Q 10r

BB bets $85, I call.

TURN ($255) 9 rainbow complete

BB bets $255, I raise to $600

I don't see anything wrong here. Help me out because I don't see anything I should do differently except maybe raise the flop.

[fsuplayer]

i'd hesitate and then call the turn.

id call turn and push river.

i think you played fine.

[HoldEmKillah]

That poor bastard in your avatar...geez.

So you guys slowplay this to death til the river? I've gotten away from slowplaying monsters so much I almost forget how.

I think raising the flop, turn, or river are all good.

If villain has a jack he is most likely calling hero's raise on the turn. And he will then call a push on the river. We want to inflate the pot here.

LOL @ HEK... I was villain in this hand.... I said I played it horribly, not you. I liked the way you played it.

OK. End of thread. Time to move on. Thanks guys.

If you flop broadway in a raised pot, and get action, villain generally has at least 2 pair, so you should raise and reraise and plan to get it allin by the turn. Lots of cards kill your action, lots of board pairs make you nervous.
