Think I confused him

[Maverick]

After getting schooled earlier by an aggressive bettor, I vowed to be more forceful with my hands. What do you think, he thought I had?

So you are lucky. Terrible play by both of you.

[wobbler]

on the flop: you had a gutshot draw and he is giving you the right pot odds (11:1) to draw to it, why not just call?

turn: why did you bet behind here? are you hoping he will fold? you risk getting check raised, when you could have gotten a free card

What do you think, he thought I had?

He probably thought you had an Ace, and that he was trapping you. Not the best way for him to play bottom 2-pair, though,

[Maverick]

thanks for the responses,

yea doggz I never said it was 'good' play I was quite on tilt at the time, had lost badly to similar play and instead of logging out like I should've, I kept going. Thanks for being honest though.

thanks wobbler, thats what I thought. I should learn to go to a play money when I'm tilting in future

Was very fired up... haha.

thanks for the pointers on the hand tho, cheers.

Well at least all your bad raising completely disguised your hand and got it paid off

[allLiving]

You won that hand but playing poorly like that will cause you a huge loss in the long haul...

[Sykedupp]

Aside from what everybody said, I hate min-raising preflop.... either bump it up to 0.10 or just call, dont min-raise.

Elaborate.

Agreed. Especially if a raise is getting called more often than not.

turn: why did you bet behind here? are you hoping he will fold? you risk getting check raised, when you could have gotten a free card

Agreed, check behind for the free card.
