These situation seems to come up a lot for me, sometimes i make great calls and other times i make terrible ones! These situation happen most in the 6 Max 100NL games that i play.
1) Can i get some advise about how i should approach playing pocket pairs OPP and/or against a blind steal. As with this case i did not re-raise to take control because i had already re-raised him a few hands ago a feared a re-pop, regardless of whether he hand a hand or not.
2) I knew i had him beat on the flop and turn but felt it would be more profitable to just check call. Is this a sound strategy?
3) Where did i go wrong?
Cheers.
