  2. i think u misplayed every street
     
  3. the way you played it id DB him and call if hes awful, fold if hes good.

    however u should have re-raised pre and played the hand from there.
  4. I misplayed every street?? how the hell am I going to get 3 streets of value against a worse preflop hand? I have very little information in this hand.
    I guess you want to get all of your chips in on the flop or the turn.
    Oh and BTW I wasn't trapping. On the turn I got stuck...pretty badly.

  5. What does he play on every street this way that you can beat? You're just praying he's got A-J and no clue how to play deep-stacked.

    But if you're praying he's got A-J, you 3-bet the flop rather than calling, because he's not getting away from TPTK. If you're not convinced he's got A-J, you don't call the turn. If you're not convinced he's got A-J, there's no way in hell you should be leading out on the river...and you can't call the shove.
     
  6. If his results are poor then he could easily be overplaying AJ like a lot of weak players would in that spot. Especially since he would take your chk-call on the turn as weakness. If he is a player with good results then I think a set of J's is possible. I guess AA/KK are also possible, but I dont know that they would shove the river with AA/KK.

    I think that river advice is solid. If you are not able to call a reraise then dont lead out on the rvr. Simply chk-call if he bets.
  8. i have no problem flatting pre. you get much more value out of lower pairs and AJ, etc. if you're going ot lead the flop, i'm pretty much check/calling turn and check/calling river. i mean...your river bet is what was really the worst part of this hand. it makes no sense at all and is awful

  9. Graps:
    I have no info on how he plays. And my lead on the river was terrible I know this. I thought i might get a flat from QJ KJ J10. But after thinking about the hand he couldn't have had those hands given the way he bet the flop and turn. This hand was a mess and I'm pretty upset at how I played it. Freakin disaster.

  10. I know I butchered this hand the whole way. Thanks everyone for your input. And I know the river bet was god awful. It made no sense.
