Ok, so im playing a cash game at the grosvenor walsall yesterday, its a £100 minimum sit down £2/£2 blinds and i have £150 in front of me.
2 guys limp in from early position and a guy who thought he was some super pro who had been playing every hand makes it £15 from middle position, he was raising a lot but it was the first time he made such a big raise, i wake up on the button never the less with :as: ac and decide to flat call because i had realised that he was very aggressive post flop and i could just rinse him there and then, the limpers both gets out the way.
Anyways the flop comes down qh
, not sure of the suits but it was rainbow for sure. Instead of him betting out like i expected he checks which immediately get the alarm bells ringing, but i want to know where i am so i bet £25, he mulls it over for a while and flat calls. The turn pairs a
and he checks again so i decide to pull on the brakes and check behind, the river is :
:, again not sure about this but it was a blank anyway. he thinks for a minute and bets £40. what an odd bet, i felt ever since the flop i was behind and i knew i would kick myself if i called and was beat. 2 reasons why i decided to pass: - 1, why £40? it just asks like he wants me to call, if he busted his draw surely from past betting he would be betting like £70, £80 etc. 2, there was a lot, and i mean a lot of dead money on this table. If i made a loose call i would probably tilt and miss out on a good opportunity to make some good money.
After mulling it over for ever i decided to pass and straight away he says good fold and turns over qs qd. I felt so relieved, a it happens i went bust a few hands later and did my starting bankroll anyway lol but i felt so good about myself that i had avoided a situation where many wouldnt!!
let me know what you think and of similar situations yourself
