How Do You Find My Play?
Hi,
I joined a cash game at a local card room with blinds 2/3. If I remember it right, there were 7 players then fighting for the pot. Most of the players were really good, they have combined tight and aggressive style of play and have a few hundred to back them up.
At some point, I’m UTG with AQs. I then raised to $9. Folded to button who re-raised to 25$, blinds folded. Consequently, I opted to call as I’ve seen such player checked down several hands earlier part of the game. Pot was $55. Flop came and brought J35 rainbow. I then checked to the raiser while he placed $50 bet. Eventually, I placed him on a steal, AK, or a pocket pair below Jacks. I then called. Pot was $155. Turn came but was a blank. Later, we both checked. River came and was another Jack. I then had some winnings and so placed $125 bet. I thought he would never call with AK or pocket 10s.
At some point, he stood up and then asked me if I have a Jack. I was speechless then. Afterwards he called and then had the pot with his KK.
How do you find my play?
Your help will be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Billy
Billy,
I found your read on the situation horrible. You raised and was reraised preflop. If you called, you should have folded on the flop to his bet. A-Q in early position is not a raising hand.
I am not sure why he checked the turn, but when you bet out on the river, the only way he was going to call is if he had a reasonable hand or had you beat. He asked if you had a Jack because you called his bet on the flop, checked the turn, and then moved in on the river. Your play was indicative of A-J. It could just as well been A-K or A-Q, which is probably why he called you.
You should have folded on the flop when you missed.
