Every once in a while I play a hand, that I think perfectly exemplifies a basic mistake, and I post it here.
This hand was played on bodog, and the hand histories from there are in a table that doesn't paste well here. It was a .05/.10 no-limit.
I had AQ in second seat, and was the first to limp in. Two other players limped to the big blind. The BB, playing his first hand at the table, raised to $1. I didn't believe he caught AA or KK the first hand, so I called. The limpers behind me folded.
The flop came 75 of diamonds, King of spades. He checked, and I checked. The turn comes Ace of hearts, and he bets another dollar. If he had AK or just a King, I figured he would have bet the flop. Yes, he could have hit the flop and was hoping to check-raise, but I seriously doubted it. I put him on an Ace with at best a Queen kicker, and went all-in. He had AJ.
In my opinion, his bets telegraphed his hand. If he'd have continuation-bet, he'd have taken that pot right there.
