So this hand cropped up. I was up against the chip leader, quite a big stack too. Anyway, he had stupid stats, I had 25 hands on him and he had 40/22 or something, played nearly every hand and dog awful cards at that.
I his my top pair with a flush draw out there, now I'm first to act and 9times out of 10 I bet this flop just under pot sized bet but because this guy literally went to show down with awful cards and bet most flops I was so confident he would bet out. Anyway, as it went he checked, which wasn't good and I preyed for spade and low and behold and spade hits. Now I know I have to make a move here and I bet he shoves me..I fold..
I think this was a bad fold in the end but I'm unsure, it really wouldn't of surprised me if he flipped over spades.
My question is, with a player like this, should I of just led out? I wanted him to bet the flop and I could shove him but didn't pan out like that..
How would you of played this vs him? I believe now after looking at the hand again, this was a bad fold most likely but I'm not a big fan of getting it all-in on a flushy board when I still have a fair few blinds left..the problem is is his min raise, kind of sets of alarm bells of him wanting me to call/shove him. However, should I not of bet out if my intention was to fold to a re raise here? I know the hand was poorly played in most cases as soon as I checked the flop to start with.
On another note, I can't seem to convert the hands properly. It says "hand history format not known" Anyone know why this is and how I can fix it?
