“Good news is I never got bluffed…”
Just busted out of a 22$ guy shoved river and I called, no cold hard analysis just a call….learn to get emotion out of the decision. It is a maths exam there is no room for ego in this game….be like a robot…
Flop has one over card, a possible straight, nearly every pair under mine has hit a set and two pair options are obvious.
Cut-off raises to 3,200 I call with 19 BB 32,000 behind on the button with JJ and the BB completes. With a cut-off open this is a shove but with position I want to play it as a pair of 88s and see the flop. Need to check if this is a mistake, If I raise and get shoved on I’m rarely good and if I shove and he folds I gain 3.5BB an awkward spot where I fold out the hand’s I want in the pot and keep all those in that trouble me.
Flop of 467 rainbow and initial raiser bets 9,000 and I call. Perhaps I should shove here but his near pot size bet looks like an over pair. King on the turn and the villain checks, I check back hoping to get to showdown. River is an 8 and villain shoves to put me all in, I call and he turns over set of eights.
Perhaps I should fold here because when you are only beating bluffs you’re not beating much…
