I check, btn bets $14, I c/r to $30 to put him all in. He calls.River :: 8
Action closed on turn.On this hand I'll post reasoning before I see replies. Cause I know most of you will say I need to fast play this flop and re-raise on the flop, or dump it.However, the reason I only called the $16 instead of isolating was because I put UTG on a draw and button on a few hands, KT, AT, AK, AQ, and maybe AJ.
His cold calling the flop really didn't scare me. I was expecting it.But then again he could have had nothing, either way I wanted to get him all in on the turn and I was confident that I could c/r him all in on the turn and make up on chips if I got outdrawn on by the UTG player by stacking the button.I wasn't a huge fan of the turn, but when he bet $14 I really didn't think he was strong. Maybe semi bluffing still (or overplaying TP, or an overpair which he was doing), and decided I would gamble with him now and get him to commit the rest of his stack.I know my flop play was unorthodox, but again, I didn't want to lose him on the flop. I wanted to make a decision on the turn.- Jordan
