Default Too aggressive?

This was my first hand at the table, did I play it too strongly or was I right to give his pussy min raise no respect? What do we think?

Also, bet the flop slightly harder?

I honestly seem to get myself in so much trouble on those "first hands" at a table. I generally dont like to make a big move until I have been at a table for at least a little while. Still it seems your gut told you something about this and it appears to have been right. One thing that seems a bit dangerous to me is that you are betting into 2 players. I may be more prone to do this against one person.

Overall I say nh.

Fold PF. It's 9 handed and you're OOP. Not a good spot at all.

As played, niiiice.

Meh. If there are a lot of people getting in I might call this preflop from the BB looking for a big flop.

You're right it was a bluff but I had a strong suspicion that he was bluffing too. He was trying to represent the big overpair but didn't have the balls to bet it properly, so I punished him.

Do you personally flat call the raise on the flop then? How do you proceed from there? Or do you fold the flop?



As for people saying to fold PF, I'm always open for advice but I'm NEVER folding this PF.
