| Is this a bad play? Live game - $50 buy in....157 runners The guy called me 'banana' after I took this hand down. He's in the cut off with 5000, blinds 100/50. Aggressive player, everyone folds to him he raises to 350. Everyone folds, I'm in BB with A 10 suited, 7000chips - Reraise to1400. Test him out. He calls Pot 1900 Flop 9, 6, 4 rainbow. I lead out with 1200 hoping to take it down then and there......he calls. Pot 4300 Turn King I shoot my second barrel 2000...he fold and turns over A, 10 and starts the abuse??? I show becuase I know he is a d*ck. I would love to hear peoples opinions about the way I played this hand. I truly believe that when it heads up he is going to miss the flop 60% of the time, so take it down. Thoughts |

| I have no problems with the way you played this. In some ways it's a risky strategy as you've committed half your stack on a bluff but if you believe he has air then ok. If he had called the turn (and the King is a danger card for you) then you're probably in big trouble. As for the abuse then that is ridiculous - bluffing is part of the game. After all he put in half his stack with only Ace high against an opponent who has raised and led out on the flop, so who's the donk? |

If he doesn't hit the flop which is 2/3 of the time how can he call my continuation bet? He must put me on a stonger hand tham his? He was first into the pot and I put didn't put him on much condisering his style of play. I honestly thought I was infront pre-flop so I played accordingly, it was about taking the lead in the betting. Maybe this play is better in postion? |

| re: Is this a bad play? poker The point is you are def ahead of his range here with A10.You should be calling to let him bluff instead of running him off.He only calls the top of his range to your 3 bet i guess he considers ~A10 at the top.Normaly you would only get called by hands you are behind and you fold out the hands in his range you are crushing. To answer your question EVERY play works better IP. |

If you had merely called from the big blind, your continuation bet would have been more convincing. You have defined your hand as big one which is unlikely to have hit a board with such a dry texture. |

But I agree, it was a terrible play for the reasons given above |

| I'm not sure, but I think you might be a little too hard on the OP. If he's representing AA, KK, or perhaps AK, the bets he made might be perfectly realistic - a decent re-raise preflop that's just small enough to keep a lesser hand interested (probably AA or KK in the villain's hand would be met with a shove at which we fold). Then we bet a little less than half the pot after a harmless flop to let him know we still think we're on top and he's gonna have to pay that and more after the turn. We bet half of what we have left after the K on the turn, which now makes us good with AA, KK, or even the AK we hope our opponent doesn't have. But we've made it appear we're committed to spending all our chips on the hand, even though we're just bluffing at this point. Frankly if you're trying to convince your opponent that you have a premium hand, it doesn't really matter whether you have A-T or 7-2. You just need to know that your opponent is likely to have played a hand that it makes sense for him to fold and that he doesn't decide he too is committed to the hand with a better kicker or a pocket pair. Personally I would have folded pre-flop and waited for a better spot and/or better cards. But I can't blame the OP for his play either. |

| He should have shoved definitely at the turn at least to rep a big hand. That would have been a better bluff. I hate the pre-flop raise with A10, I hate the 2000 bet on turn and the bet on the flop. It happens to me but you won the pot plus you got the dude mad which, probably lead to him losing pots because he was steaming lol. |
