I think my first mistake was raising utg. Then it was raising 2x bb instead of 3x bb, i didnt get enough information about who was calling. I should've called UTG, then folded to a preflop raise is my guess.


However, agree'ing that i misplayed preflop, I think my postflop play was spot on. He could've easily had KJ,K10, or any pocket pair, as he just CALLED the other guy's bluff and didn't raise it. i just saw him play a Q10 the hand before. and he also didn't re-raise preflop, which although ended up trapping me was probably the more logical play.

What do you guys think? Good push or bad push postflop?

I personally wouldn't be all that in a rush to get my chips in there on such a weak hand, thats just me though.

You should have folded after DONCOYOTE65 went all-in and CDUBB33 called his all-in. Chances are that one of the two has AA, KK, 33, 55 or AK. You don't want a coinflip with 2 opponents when you are just sitting on top pair and a good kicker. Even an Ax can beat you when a A hits the board on turn and river.

table texture determines whether you raise and how much preflop. so i won't fault you for that, but...

the flop call is bad. the first guy is probably an idiot )who just goes allin with a good hand when first to act????), but once someone calls him you can not call.

yup. Just remember the rule:
"A bettor can be bluffing, but a caller cannot"
