im kinda a new player but a feel i can read players reasonably well, i ended up bein rivered but i felt good about the hand.

william hill no-limit hold em, .25 /.50 (6 handed)

SB ($ 34)

BB ($18)

HERO ($24)

MP ($29)

CO ($45)

Button ($ 56)


pre flop HERO is UTG with 10h 10d, raises to $ 2.00
MP calls, 1 fold, Button calls, SB&BB fold.

flop 4s 9d 3c. (3 players)
HERO leads out for $ 2.00. MP cals. Button folds

Turn 5s
Hero bets half the pot. MP calls again.

i was quite sure he wasnt slowplayin trips or a big pair as he had been consitently super aggresive. i felt he had maybe aj/kq or a suited ace

river river Ac
Hero bets half pot again. MP raises all in, Hero folds.

so i read him to a tee, but could i have played the hand differnetly

Betting properly might be a start. You bet $2 on the flop? What is that, like $2 into almost $7? That is just horrible and encourages him to float you with pretty much anything as he as position. Then you half-pot the turn, again a poor bet. Bet like 3/4 of it. The problem by this time is you have no idea what range of hands the guy has as his calling range of the flop bet is massive.

Basically, you could have played the hand a great deal better by making your bets on each street larger.

Bet 5-6 on the flop. Bet 3/4 pot on the turn. I go for a 40% pot bet/fold on the river. River is pretty much sick but you got yourself into this situation to begin with.
Snamuh raises to $76.75, and is all in
BigKamp: yyou lose
BigKamp has 15 seconds left to act
BigKamp calls $24.50, and is all in
Seat 1: BigKamp (small blind) mucked [Ad Ac] - a full house, Aces full of Kings
Seat 2: Snamuh (big blind) showed [Kd Kh] and won ($102.50) with four of a kind, Kings
Snamuh: you lose

I also noticed you are playing with a less than half stack. This is a huge mistake. Reload to full.

I'm not sure if hands for crypto convert, but check the links in the stickied Forum Posting Guidelines.

Honestly though, as long as you manually convert it like you did, there's no problems here.

I'm not sure how I feel about a river bet here.

Zach is right about pretty much everything.
