$.10-$.10 No Limit HE (Real) 10 players. Players unknown

UTG: ($.85 in chips)
UTG+1: ($1.90 in chips)
UTG+ 2: ($15.10 in chips)
MP1: ($2.90 in chips)
MP2: ($31.65 in chips)
MP3: ($17.55 in chips)
Hero CO: ($2 in chips)
BU: ($12 in chips)
SB: ($6.60 in chips) Post Blind ($.05)
BB: ($3.40 in chips) Post Blind ($.10)

Pre-Flop :
4 folds, MP2 calls ($.10), 1 fold, Hero CO bets ($.50), BU and the Blinds fold, MP2 calls ($.40)

Flop : 10 :club: A :heart: K :club: (Pot $1.15, 2 players)

MP2: Check
Hero: Bet ($.80)
MP2: Call ($.80)

Turn : [10 :club: A :heart: K :club: ] 6 :spade: (Pot $2.75)

MP2: Check
Hero: Bet ($.70) and is All In

River : [ 10 :club: A :heart: K :club: ] K :spade:

Dealt to Hero: A :spade: J :spade:
Dealt to MP2: K :diamond: 8 :club:

MP2 was underdog all the way and hit his third K on the river.

1. Did I have any way to protect my hand? Should I go all in post flop instead of calling 2/3 of the pot? Note that there was a possible flush draw and a straight draw.

2. I know for sure that MP2's move (calling my bet) pre flop was wrong. I also think that he was wrong when he payed my bet on the turn. What do you think?

You can push the flop 1.5 remain stack, to 1.15 pot. But this is also good. Reload next hand.


Thanks to both of you guys for responding to all the hands I posted today.

Good luck at the tables.

As Utahmar correctly mentioned you can push when your stack:pot ratio is <=1.5:1.

push:

- drawy board
- to cover your cbets (not very important on this limit)

bet 2/3:

- against some types of opponents (agressive) it is feasible to make a normal 2/3 bet to induce re-raise. but ! you need stats to make this move precise... on the lower limits I was pushing in 95% of the time in such situations.

And yeah, your opponent made -EV move both on flop and pre-flop, meaning that he will lose money on the distance.
