I am a regular reader of this forum and have been frustrated the way poker is played by players. So i eagerly joined to hear what you guys say about this hand.
Its a cash game blinds are $0.5- $1
I am at UTG with pocket 99s, and i limped coz most of the players are passive players, they hardly raise.
One loose passive player raises from middle position to $12 and button and small blind calls.
I raise it to $45 and everybody calls,I never expected that all three would call preflop, button is a loose aggresive player and i knew button would call, raiser also called and
small blind calls by saying its a value call for him.
Flop comes 952 all spades
I hit my top set on the flop and have a stack of about $250 behind in to a $180 pot.
Small blind checks immediately
I checked back (i know i should bet my set but for some reason i didnt like the way small blind checked instantly)
Raiser checked
Button checked
Turn card comes a brick with no spade no paired board
Small blind now leads out $90 in to a pot of $180 and i called after thinking for few seconds. (I still have a doubt why he is raising here)
Ciuld not kept him on a hand, its a loose table, he can even bet a pair of 5 in this board, or ace high flush draw. So i flat called to get more value, he was out of position for me.
Everybody else folds
River is a ace of diamonds and now villain checks
I am thinking for 10 seconds why he checked now so based on how he played i kept him on ace of spades (but why he checked on river, i could not wait. )
Could not let this value bet go in vain by checking behind, so i went all in with $160 in to a pot of $360 and villain snap calls
Villain shows Q5 of spades
So my question here is what i did wrong and how can i improve my play in this hand?
How else this hand could have been played?
Tryst me i really appreciate you reading this post and responding to it.
It will help me playing better with this villain in future!
Thanks
