Hello,
I think I played this hand way too passively. How would you have played differently ?
Preflop, I'm quite happy to pay a low price. No aggressive player behind so I'm quite certain to see a flop without being 3 bet.
Flop, I get top pair with a great kicker. Villain is raising 75%, but with my hand I think it's to fold her. I thought a lot about raising to "find pout where I was standing" but I had position so I just flatted.
Turn and river I thought I might have the best hand so I just flat both.
During this hand I thought the hands that beat me were outside Villain range. Having flat a min raise pre flop I assigned him a capped range.
So I couldn't see how he could have AA/KK/QQ/AQ, with which he would have raised pre (at least I would have). 44/88 were int his range, but both became less probable with the turn and river. There was the possible A4/A8 but he probably would have bet less than 3/4 on the flop 4 ways.
Finally the hand which best made sense with his line was Q8.
If I had to play this hand again I think i would raise the flop and fold to a reraise, or check/fold on later street if he flat.
And being at the micro stake level I think that I should have fold the 3rd barrel, which is rarely a bluff.
