Hello,
I've played this hand earlier and I think I misplayed it, with too much calling...
It's zoom format, so no info on this player, and I've never played with him before. I generally defend my blind a little more playing this format, since people are stealing more easily.
So K♥ 9♣ is an ok hand to at least go see a flop in a blind battle.
I catch TP on a board with straight draws (8♣ 7♥ K♠). Villain continue as I would have in his position (3/4 of the pot being a little expensive). So here I only call, I thought about re-raising to avoid having to call multiple barrel if I'm behind. But I opted to only call.
Comes a 3♠. And the second barrel. He bet the pot this time. I usually let go at this time facing a second barrel with only TP. But nevertheless I called, not knowing where I was standing.
Final card the 5♠. The flush is now here. And Villain bet nearly twice the pot. I used all my extra time before finally calling it.
My thinking on this final street was that lot of K were beating mine (KT+,K8,K7,K5,K3 although the last 2 were barely credible, even for a small blind opening). Any spades which include the K♠which would explained his betting line. The remote 96/64. And the sets. That makes a lot of hands in front of me...
But I kept thinking his betting pattern was off. On the turn I thought he was protecting a good hand (two pair, a set) against a flush. And when the flush came, why overbet like that ? It really felt like he wanted me to fold.
So this time I called.
What do you think of every street plays ? How should I played it differently ?
Thanks for your inputs
