Just wondered about this hand, I just couldn't see anyway he had the straight but...

I've been playing at the table for about 3 orbits so no real read on villain. He'd won one or two pos with ace-rag earlier. Me VPIP 25%, PFR 11%

    I'm not upset about the runner-runner, rather just wondered if I should have been re-raising at the end or slowing down?

    Just console yourself thinking about the amount of drool the guy had to clean up from his keyboard / desk...

    I'd have been a little more aggressive pre-flop and on the flop. I'm really not a fan of the min. raise, especially out of position. Most players won't fold to a min raise. You're building a pot you'll have to try to take down out of position.

    The way I look at it, you're pricing in your opponent to outdraw you. Runner-runner does suck... but anytime someone min. raises me pre-flop and I have a playable hand (and position) like suited connectors or even suited semi-connected cards, I'm going to call. If I catch a nice piece of the flop or a nice draw, I'll hope my opponent is one of those guys that min. raises AA or KK and I'm gonna bust him. Just last week I played 5:s: 7:s: and busted someone who had AA and flopped the A. I flopped a flush draw and he'd min. bet/raise, giving me the right price to call... and I caught my flush and busted his trip Aces. I'm sure he went on to tell all his friends what a donkey I was for playing 5:s: 7:s: .

    lol exactly. it's limit, so crap like this happens all the time ;)
  • Davis08Davis08
    he was awful determined to catch that straight tho wasn't he?
  • JimmyHoJimmyHo
    this is why I play NL, too many chasers. Lots of players will chase a four outer to the river, vs NL where a pot size bet will get most players to fold (most, but not all). I think you played it fine and just got rivered. Not much you can do really. Its limit.

    I just don't have the stones to play NL cash games so I am almost (99.5%) a LHE player. Thanks for the feedback everyone.
  • BuddhaBuddha
    Have you tried pot-limit? I find it's the best of both worlds. You can bet enough to push someone off a hand... but at the same time, you're hardly ever forced in a position to make a decision for your whole stack. Just make sure you control the size of the pot... because then you can control the size of the bets as well.

    Your line looks fine.
    Keep playing aggressively.
