600 buy in Borgata tourn: please coment on hand
My friend was in the following situation. I told him he misplayed this hand. Please coment
Friend 6000 chips
opp: 6500 chips
Blinds 100/200 no ante yet (blinds 1 hour long)
Friend: 5 position KdQs, folds to him, he raises to 500 gets 1 caller on the button. So it's heads up at a 9 person table.
Pot is 1300$
Flop: QcQh2h
Friend: leads out for only 600$
opp apparently (so my friend says) thinks about it for a while reraises for 3000
Friend: pushes ALL-IN
opp: Calls with AhJh
Turn was a Heart and my friend got busted out!!
My problem with the way he played the hand after the flop was his weak bet. with the 2 hearts on the board why would you give your opponent an opportunity to improve for cheap.
I would have made a much larger initial bet after the flop. I think my friend gave the hand away which let his opp get so pot commited that he had to call my friends all in move. I think if my friend came out betting more aggressively that he would have taken the small pot down and lived to see another hand
