Hello!
I was wondering if people wouldn't mind sharing their experiences at live tables.
A few weeks ago I was in a strange situation and was wondering how i should have handled it.
I had just sat down at the table, maybe one or two hands in, blinds 1$/2$,and had K10o. A few people folded, and a few others called. I decided to raise to 6$ as I was unsure of everybody's playing styles. The flop turned over 7 K 6. Some people check, I bet 8$. A few folds, then somebody calls me. It's now heads up. Turn comes a 2(or something inconsequential), my opponent checks. I bet 20$ or so, then my opponent jams, forcing me all in.
I had only bought in with the minimum of 50$.
I took a few seconds to think about my decision, considering the fact that I have top pair decent kicker, and a solid portion of my stack is in the middle. My decision was split 50/50 on whether to call or fold.
I'm sure I looked very nervous and someone at the table took notice I suppose and said that in my situation she would call since I'm pot committed. I knew that players aren't supposed to influence or advise others at the table, and the mood at the table changed.
I ended up calling, and my opponent showed AK. The river was a 10 and I won the hand.
I felt somewhat uncomfortable after the scenario that had just unfolded. Should I have mucked my hand and let him have the pot since I’m not 100% sure I would have called without the help of the other player?
