inexcusably weak?

I'm afraid I know the answer. But confirm for me that there was no excuse for not raising the turn, if not the river too.

Not at all. SB could have a weaker pair here but he could also have a hand. Any reads? If he has a weaker pair here let him bet it. I take it SB showed you a weaker pair? Don't be results oriented you played it fine. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

This was pretty early, so I didn't have any reads. And you're right, he showed me a lower pair.

But I'm in one of those periods where everything I do seems to be too weak.

I reraise the turn. There are many semi-bluff possibilities on this board and he is unlikely to have a better made hand.

I take it your folding to a 3-bet? I like this line however I have difficulty folding to a 3-bet on the turn as I think my opponents are trying to make a move on me. Must be a leak. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

What do you think of a river raise if a blank comes off? More likely to get paid off and less likely to be 3-bet.

I call down if I get 3bet. I rarely fold overpairs.
