Honestly, just reading through the hand and the analysis you provided throughout, you’re leveling yourself based on the outcome of the hand. I would ask yourself the question of how playing that hand differently would’ve resulted in the outcome other than what it was, mostly likely it wouldn’t.
If you check the flop, and the button puts out a bet of $40, what are you doing there?
You Check-Raise to $100-$125 and BTN jams – you can’t fold (unless you’re GOD and know for certain he’s holding Q10).
You Check-Raise to $100-$125 and BTN flats – you’re mostly likely jamming with a re-draw to the nut-flush, plus you have any Qx hand dominated other than Q10 and if the player has 10-10, it’s simply a rough cooler and move on.I don’t think any mistakes were made, the hand played itself pretty much based on the cards. As you described the game, I’m not surprised Q10o called on the BTN. I see loose calls like that all the time, this just happened to be one of those that coolers you. Try not to be too results oriented in this situation would be the ONLY mistake I see.
Hey Greg, I’m from the NOVA area and when time permits try to get up to MGM. Always looking to discuss hands and meet new people in the process. I’ll message you when I’m headed up there again and maybe we can grab a quick bite or drink and chat.
Best of luck out there!
I agree with most of the analysis given on SMP. I certainly agree with a 3-bet if you’re going to play that hand as you can rep stronger range and potentially take that down without a flop. The only thing I may have done differently with the line you took was on the river, I definitely would’ve sized the bet a little bit larger to 85k.
As to whether it was a good call, can’t comment on that, but was it a bad bluff, other than being results oriented, a noble stab as it was the only way to win the pot and you took control with the Turn Bet so you had to fire the River.
There is a lot of information that is left out of your question in my opinion like raise size, stack size, # of callers, position, flop, FBet, turn, TBet. In general, if you are playing at a table and CBetting 100% of your opens then good players are going to pick up on that an like look you up on any flop and with any pairs or draws that they catch.
If you can keep a log of some of the hand specifics and bring them to the forum I’m confident the folks on here will be able to give you some great feedback.
