Hi!
I've got a lot of questions for you more experienced players. I guess I am what you guys would call a fish.. Not that I necessarily make fish moves but I've only been playing for two months now (NL hold'em only).
As said before I have a ton of questions but first of I would like to get your opinions on the micro tables. I had this happen to me about an hour ago:
I wake up with pocket Ace's in a full ring 0,05/0,10 game, in middleposition, facing a 3xraise and a call. I squeezed (that's what it's called, right?) raising x3 times the original raise and everyone to my left folds. The original raiser folds (I've been playing real tight and I think he understood what I was holding) but the caller (utg+1, I believe he was) calls.
The flop comes: 5h-9s-6s and I know this isn't a dry flop but I C-bet it and he calls. I'm guessing either he has a draw or maybe a pocket pair as well..
Turn comes: 3h and I know feel a little bit better about it all and I bet again but he calls. Now I'm even more certain about him having a pocket pair, perheps three of a kind so I slow down on the river which is a: 8d. I check and he bet's about half the pot (sorry I don't remember the size of the pot but I was fully commited to it. So I call and he wins with two pair (he had 8-6 off) and I kind understood that I was beaten before I called but I just had to call..
How you guys feel about my actions versus his actions? I personally think I did nothing wrong during this play and I felt like he made a really bad play and got lucky? Or is it reasonable to call with 8-6 off to a big squeeze? Again, I've only been playing for a while but I have ambitions of moving up to higher stakes and I have hard time believing that that's a reasonable call with more money on the line? I should add that all my betting post flop was about half pot until I slowed down..
I'm only here to get your opinions on what I could have done different in this situation and I'm only here to learn, so please be gentle, haha!
English isn't my native language so I'm sorry in advance for any grammar mistakes or misspelling?
I appreciate any of your thoughts!
Thank's!
