Interesting hand

[Les_Worm]

Doesn't matter what my cards are. I called the raise w/ the intention to just outplay him. I wanted to make a play on this guy because he is very weak/passive player post flop. What do you think of this play? Looking back at it I think I risked too much money to try and take it down. On the other hand I was pretty confident this play would work.

MP2 ($11.14)

Preflop: Hero is CO with XX. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
4 folds, MP3 raises to $1, Hero calls $1, 3 folds.

Flop: ($2.35) K, 8, 5 (2 players)
MP3 bets $2, Hero raises to $5, MP3 calls $3.

Turn: ($12.35) Q (2 players)
MP3 checks, Hero checks.

River: ($12.35) K (2 players)
MP3 checks, Hero bets $10, MP3 folds.

Final Pot: $22.35

I think you're playing too dangerously there. Weak/passive or not, the opponent flat calls $10 on that river more often than you'd think.

At $25 NL on PartyPoker, I'd just stick to nut-peddling and avoid getting into situations like this at all.

I know the board was pair but he was aware enough to notice the flush that completed.

i ade several posts in a thread about calling tight or predictable preflop raises with any two and basically pushing them off any flop they miss. So, i like this play even at 25NL. Providing you find the right opponent who will fold when it would appear they have second best hand or know when overs are no good then i continue to make the plays.
