Hi All,
So I just got done playing a hand (on ignition 2c/5c) in which I started with QcQh on the button.
Villain limps in. I raise to 10c. Villain calls.
Flop is 8d 8s 2d.
Awesome.
Villain checks. I bet 25c.
Villain calls.
Hm. Okay. What could he have? For some reason, in my head, at the time, I think the only thing I assumed was that he had a high card like an Ace or a King and was hoping to catch it. I don't know why I only considered or thought about that. Maybe I was just overconfident with the Queens and just didn't spend much time thinking he might have actually had something, seeing as how crappy the flop was. Also, I think I just in general have trouble believing, in a situation like that, that somebody has something. I guess I maybe feel like people are always bluffing me or something. Honestly I forget what I was thinking in the moment. I think mainly, I was just very confident in my Queens (maybe that's the whole problem).
With him calling, should I have put him on an 8 right there? Isn't that quite low likelihood?
Anyway, so now the turn comes and it is a 6 of spades.
Great. I had planned to bet, but now villain bets out before me! 15c.
...which now looking back at it, is kind of fishy. But in the moment, I thought that it was a weak bet that he was trying to take the lead on deciding how much he would be willing to pay to see the next card...or something like that. Again, maybe I was just overconfident in my Queens. So i re-raise him to 30c, and then he re-raises to 45c. Now again, looking back now, I should have probably put him on something like 8s or aces or kings at this point? Again, I think what was going on in my head at the time was more of he's trying to steal the pot or something. Also, I think I overcategorize people as bluffing too much...Anyway, I call the 45.
3 of hearts on the river. Still great for me. This means that no flush. So he has to have aces or kings or somehow like a two pair or I guess an 8. Low likelihood, I thought, but anyway he comes out big with a 53c bet. I call. And he has A8 and wins the pot.
Where did I go wrong? I really need to start believing people more. I think I just always think, esp. online at such low stakes, that people are bluffing. So I think that is leak #1 of mine. And then leak #2 is, I think, being overconfident/married to my strong hands?
IDK! Where the hell did I go wrong?
Thanks in advance for any input!
