Message: [QUOTE="GreenDaddy1, post: 6272932, member: 337531"] Thanks. Good question that I probably need to unpack. I must be thinking in these spots that a huge jam like that on the flop in response to being reraised is only getting calls from made hands that beat me and combo draws that actually hold more equity than me. Or a massive fish doing fish things. So the story I'm convincing myself of is that while all those hands that are beating me already or hold higher equity are calling to give villain max value, the weaker draws I hold an equity edge over are just folding out rather than continuing to the turn where I may be able to milk more money out of them. Even then, should I not be making that sort of flop 4 bet jam with a set or better, top two pair or combo draw, rather than what now in the cold light of day is not even a strong two pair on this board? As played, I think when he has lead the turn I'm thinking 'ok villain can still be chasing that draw after a semi bluff flop reraise, but he has even more invested in this pot now so if I jam I have a better chance that the draws I'm doing well against are going to call, out of either frustration or fishiness'. I'm totally ignoring the brick turn card and just assuming villain can't let go of his draw. I can see how against a thinking player this is probably a terrible move because they are seeing right through me, but do I need to worry about that against the average 5nl player? I'm inclined to think that within my player pool I was over valuing my hand here. Many of the nits and tags are not paying me off here with worse when a lot of money goes into the pot on any street, and just continuing with better hands/equity than me. As played, I should have just called the turn and not necessarily been shy of more money going in on the river, but attempting to let villain put it in bad sometimes when they miss on the river.
