Ok here is the situation. I am two spots to the right of the dealer. Blinds are .10-.25 and I am playing at party poker.
Preflop
I am dealt KJo. The person to my right(Player A who has about $60-$65 in front of him) calls the bb, I raise it to $1.10. Everyone folds to Player A and he calls.
Flop:
4d 5h Kd
Player A checks. I need to get value out of my cards so I bet around $2.50. Player A calls.
Turn:
9h
A harmless card that I feel hasn't helped Player A's hand. I hit the "bet the pot" button, which is around $7.50 knowing he can't call a pot sized bet now if he's drawing to a flush. Player A calls.
River:
Ad
Worst card possible. I know he's got the flush or at least an ace. He checks to me, which is ridiculous since he's obviously hit his hand, and I check. Player A has 8d5d and hurts my stack which was about $26 before the hand. Where did I go wrong in this hand? late.

he was actually ahead... on the flop, pair and a draw is favored against your top pair, you're very lucky you weren't raised.
and good job not betting the river. |

| you actually played the hand quite well. You kept control on the flop even though, as matt said, you were a slight underdog. On the turn, when you became a 2 to 1 fav you bet the pot and made him draw incorrectly to his outs. ON the river you made a nice check. It was one of those hands where you did everything right but win the pot! Hate when that happens lol |

Look at it from this perspective:
You and Howard Lederer have a below average stack well into a tourney.
Howard raises 3x the bb in mid position. YOu look down in small blind and see A/10. There are arguments for folding here, but you simply cannot call. If i'm going to play the hand, i go all in. I will not try to outplay a player like him with A/10, even if i do think i am great player (and no, i dont' think i'm great lol).
The all in really can be profitable here. If you just call and flop a monster (like a str8, trips, etc) is Howard, a great player, really going to pay you off? And if you just hit the A or 10 then what?? |
Im lost as to where this fits in with this hand critique |

Thanks for the input everyone. After I posted this I thought about the hand and I would have definitely called a pot sized bet or even raises on the flop with the 8d5d. 8d5d is 1.04 to 1 fav to my pair of Kings on the flop so a call or raise makes sense. The turn I woulda have probably laid down the hand when the pot size bet came, but they call it gambling for a reason and he went for it. Well thanks again for the input. late
