First thing to say, I wonder if I should have probably just folded this preflop as UTG+2 has already shown himself to be a pretty tight player and so I was very likely dominated by his 3bet range. The problem was that I was so focused on UTG that I allowed my concentration to slip and clicked that call button far too automatically!
This being said, when I tried running the figures through equilab and what a likely 3bet range might be, it still seems that I had the right equity to at least see the flop. I wonder if I got that maths right ? ![]()
And although I had very few hands on UTG, he had already shown himself to be a loose maniac and in the space of the brief hands I'd already seen, was raising absolutely everything with no relation to what was happening on the board.
So once I'd called, I guess I felt pretty married to my hand. But was I right to just fold there on the flop with only overcards and as it turned out, a BD straight draw?
You can imagine my dismay as I watched the turn and river unfurl and see what might have been so I guess I was trying to reassure myself that I did the right thing on the flop and cut my losses before more maniac raising and me OOP and not getting the right odds.
Those 'what might have beens' are in poker, as in life, always so hard to bear!
