Seat 8: - ($1,380 in chips)
Seat 10: - ($1,535 in chips)



ANTES/BLINDS

PRE-FLOP

OPP bets $55,

FLOP [board cards JC,5S,2H ]
OPP checks,

OPP bets $250,
ME calls $150.

TURN [board cards JC,5S,2H,10S ]
OPP checks,
ME checks.

RIVER [board cards JC,5S,2H,10S,3S ]
OPP checks,
ME checks.


Quite unsure how I should play this. I wanted to fold this, but knew I most likely had the better hand PF since everyone folded up to my opp who made small raise so I wanted to see a flop.

On the flop I thought he "gave up" his bluff when he checked, so I bet out the pot to take it right there. Was a nice flop for me, but was ofc worried about AJ, QQ, KK and AA so didn't want to play it too hard. I got a re-raise against me, and was going to fold, but I reckoned that I would get to see the river for free if I did call.

And so it went. I got to see the river for free. But should I have bet on the river? Should I have folded PF even though I thought I had him beat? In normal circumstances I wouldn't play KJs this early, but I had position on him and I took his raise as a steal attempt. I didn't want him to think he would get the blinds without any fight in the future either.

How would you have acted in this one?

i think this is pretty unlikely. but i'm going to the felt with this hand.

as you played it, i like a small value bet on the end and vomit if you get c/r'ed.
