    Default £25 Charity Deepstack - got myself into shitty spot

    Same as my 44 thread.

    It's 400/800+100 and I raise the button of a 6-handed table with . I've got about 27k, raise to 2.2k.

    BB (caught some cards on another table to get a monstrous 50k stack but seems to be a tight, decent player) calls.

    So pot is 5.4k and the flop is Qd Jx 2x. He checks to me and for some reason I decided to check behind. No idea why I did it now but at the time it made sense, meh.

    Turn is 6d so I now have a flush draw to go with my shit-all. He checks again and I bet 3.8k. He says: "You don't have a Queen... you must have a Jack, right?" I keep shtum and he calls.

    River is the Jc much to the amusement of the table. He checks to me again and I grab a stack of 500s, wondering if I can get him to fold his whatever. I've not even begun to count out a potential bet and he asks "how much?"

    So I'm here with no showdown value against a seemingly decent player with no idea what sort of hand he has - halp.

    Just check river behind. If he is calling you and saying things like that it is very possible he has a weak Q, a J or even a set or something. Since you checked the flop I see no reason to continue betting in the hand. I wouldn't have even bet that FD on the turn honestly.
    Lots of good rakeback options at http://www.rakeguard.com/?raf=KRE8R

    KRE8R probably has about seventy college funds in his NL5 roll.

    Yeah, I think that was a bit of a spew - I just suddenly realised I was the preflop raiser and had better start representing a hand, as you do.

    Gay hand that cost me 6k more than it should have.

    with that speech hes calling you on the river almost every time, he must have a weak queen or jack here almost always

    nobody who thinks on a simple bad live player level is going to go out of their way to make themselves look vulnerable when they have a small pair or ace high here idk

    i would bet the flop with your stack in a live tournament a very high % of the time, unless i got a feeling based on whatever that the other guy is going to make a move or call
