We were both massive stacks, I think I had $30 and he had about $25.

Should I fold turn or is that just too nitty? River is standard, right? I assume if he's got >flush he'd be check-raising and if he has <flush he's folding to any decent bet.

I think you played this far too scared.

Even with 250bb effective stacks I would get it in here. Pop the turn to $12 or so and call a shove imo.

At this level there's so many worse hands he'd go broke with. A 2x type of hand is possible, lower flush could take that line, even a crappy flush draw or (you never know at these stakes) a Kx hand could go crazy here. I doubt he has KK that often and obv 22 is unlikely, 44 is the only hand I really fear (K2 and 24 could be possible but very very unlikely).

IMHO, river is in no way standard, you can't check this down. If he has better than a flush his standard line has to be to bet this (c/r on the river with a monster is very rarely a decent play). I think I probably stick in $6-8 and watch him call down with a KT type of hand.

At higher stakes you can be forgiven for getting passive when the board pairs but at NL10 this in an insta stack off for me.

Good post, cheers.

I agree with David completely. You played this how I used to play big hands like this. I actually love that turn card because anyone with a 2 is going broke here. I honestly put this guy on at best 2 pair.

How I went from uber aggro donk to flush-checking pussy in a couple of days I have no idea.

Fortunately he had 44, but in future I'll be less scared of paired boards.

You lost the minimum at least!

[MJPerry]

Yeah, I was pretty happy with myself. But you're right, I was too scared here.

I agree with david.

Also, we can safely assume that flopped sets/2 pairs are played much faster than this on monotone flops
