    Game # 234617738 - Texas Hold'em No Limit EUR 0,10/0,20 - Table "Landskrona"

    1) No read on villain
    2) Preflop reraise maybe not big enough ; was 4 tabling and almost didn't get it in time
    3) I think biggest mistake was on the turn... Should've led out with maybe 1/2 pot for info? Am still adapting to the ring and have a tough time with these marginal situations.
    4) Auto-call on river? Felt like an easy fold but later thought that chance that he had a spade wasn't great and maybe he was just betting into my obvious fear...

    Thanks for your thoughts.

    This is from one of the B2B sites right? I believe the converter only works for Stars and Party HH's.

    For the hand, I think you played it fine, although I don't mind a turn or river bet here. Checking to him twice pretty much gives him the liscense to bluff you out, but once he does bet that river, you only have one option and that is fold.

    Okay, thinking out loud:

    so what would he have to hold for you to lose this:
    Js, Ts, 9s, 7s

    Anything other than that is a split, and it costs you E3.5 to find out which way it's going to go.

    He called a 7.5xbb preflop raise (total) after making a 3xbb ish raise himself.

    So if he was playing JJ,TT,99 that would make sense. What other hands would call your preflop: AK, KK,QQ also? All of those would split with you. So maybe a 50/50 chance that you're going to split it.

    Irritatingly, there's only E0.3 in there that's dead money.

    I think I'd be cursing and calling and hoping he's got AK, guessing that 50% of the time he has the spade balances the 50% of the time that you get your money back.
    Note: new guy and very open to constructive criticism, so go ahead and weigh in! I'm here to learn.
