Message: [QUOTE="BetterThanAvgButNotByMuch, post: 7152089, member: 480921"] blindly betting on a coordinated board like that isnt the way to go. but i get the top set thinking. just utterly despise the cordinated board. I would suggest working on your board texture skills, then think about bet sizing so the situation doesnt get out of hand and you can act more confidently. And work on what you think their range is. And you need to work on playing sfreets with those boards. however unlikely, set over set is possible and two pair of the suited variety makes sense. that Q on the board screams not set but more likely Aq and if they have middle or bottom set then theyre wringing their hands and cant wait for you to keep giving them money. and you have no idea where you were in the hand with your betting. and its all about position there as well. think about that same hand while in position,lol. or depending on the action preflop they could have an overpair. or depending on what level youre playing have a6/7/t and thinking youre bluffing with ak because youre playing too many hands or whatever and they think they can bluff you off a hand. or suited connectors,l ol then there are other issues that folks have mentioned, the list goes on and on of what they might be holding but it doesnt matter. i believe your job with that board was to control the pot while considering reverse implied odds and not the ive got the set and im invincible mentality so Im betting the flop and the turn, out of position and the other issues with this hand. this hand is way above just that "paying more attentiin to what youre holding" mentality as I tried to point out. if you ballooned the pot up and you have your mind set then go with the read if pot committed and deal with it if it doesnt work out. but i would think, out of position, coordinated board, reverse implied odds rather than getting up from the table, walking to the parking lot mumbling negreanu mickey mouse #$%+ connectors , trap me? i trapped myself with my play. how in the world did i put a full buy in the middle of the table? how in the world did i balloon that pot from 30 to 300! lol somebody would say you lost a lot of ev playing it cautiously not getting . . . lol yeaaah. its a lot less headaches and a lot less trips home early made up the difference. and its way easier to deal with once you understand ppl are still going to make mistakes so there will be better spots. gl dealing with it.
