Strasse

This guy was very loose. I had seen him complete with an A door card and continually bet at it with nothing. One hand, he did this same thing, when I had buried kings. I raised him on 5th, and he called all the way down. I hit a set of kings on 6th, and from what I can tell, he just had a pair of dueces until he hit a second pair of 9s on the river. Here is the hand history. I know he played this like a donkey, and got very lucky, however I would like comments on how I could have played it better.

i like your raise on 5th, to isolate yourself with the aggressor and get rid of a possible 4 flush in hitman69. his flat call on your raise showed weakness, but i dunno if i could have pulled the strings on another raise on 6th as you know he's committed to playing the hand till the end with only one more bet to call to see the 7th card. you might have saved yourself an extra bet although, with a flat call on 6th, however i think it might have induced him to bet on 7th instead of check. either way i think you still pay about the same amount for the hand.

my methods may be a little tight but i dont know if i would have played that hand in the first place. i would have played those cards if i had a backdoor flush draw in there but you're drawing to a J high straight essentially, as 2 Q's were out on door cards on 3rd. when that K hit, you we're drawing to 2 Q's for the straight and only 2 other K's to give you a top pair of K's with a potential for him or hitman to have a pair of aces, or another player have a big pair in the hole. after you got to 5th street i think your play was solid, its playing the hand, that i might have done differently. but then again i'm on the tight side, so whatever works for you works.

What bya said. I'm not sure I would have played that hand at all. Too many of my straight cards dead and too many overcards on the board.
