 Re: How was my play?
I think you played this hand well too. Want to add tho, given what you just said about your play being aggressive short-handed (nothing wrong with that) - while I'm not exactly sold on it, I don't hate the call with 46c here either for $2 into that pot, bearing in mind your respective stacks. Mid-low suited connectors like that can make a lot of winning hands, most of which are well camouflaged, so if he's been watching you, and with him not knowing you have kings, he might have reason to expect the implied odds to see a flop here. Your flop bet was perfect - in general he should be raising you here to find out if his sixes are good, but you made it just the right amount that he'd be getting pot committed if he did so. His first really horrible call was the turn.
And if he did think you had nothing based on your betting, that says you bet it right - you want him to think you have nothing and make a bad call. You'll bust a bit more but there's way more value in getting calls like that vs folds in the long term. But I don't think he really had the info to think that - your pre-flop reraise sends out a pretty clear message, it'd have been a counter-intuitive time to get aggressive if you were just making a move. |
