** Hand History for Game 1111111111 ** (IPoker)
Tourney Hand NL Texas Hold'em - Monday, May 05, 12:41:40 ET 2014
Table 4000 GTD Sunday Rebuy 827312136 (Real Money)
Seat 4 is the button
Seat 1: MP2 ( t292,340 )
Seat 2: MP3 ( t259,985 )
Seat 3: CO ( t130,634 )
Seat 4: Hero ( t990,924 )
Seat 5: SB ( t587,226 )
Seat 6: BB ( t731,159 ) - VPIP: 31, PFR: 14, 3B: 5, AF: 0.9, Hands: 114
Seat 7: UTG ( t375,664 )
Seat 8: UTG+1 ( t1,452,719 )
Seat 9: MP1 ( t356,531 )

Okay, so I'm 2nd in chips (at the table and in the tournament, with about 25 players left), so I'm trying to steal a bunch of uncontested pots wherever possible and avoid playing for huge pots.

SB posts ante of [t2,800].
BB posts ante of [t2,800].
UTG posts ante of [t2,800].
UTG+1 posts ante of [t2,800].
MP1 posts ante of [t2,800].
MP2 posts ante of [t2,800].
MP3 posts ante of [t2,800].
CO posts ante of [t2,800].
Hero posts ante of [t2,800].
SB posts small blind [t14,000].
BB posts big blind [t28,000].

** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to Hero [ Q :heart: 5 :diamond: ]
UTG folds
UTG+1 folds
MP1 folds
MP2 folds
MP3 folds
CO folds
Hero raises [t56,000]
SB folds
BB calls [t28,000]

** Dealing Flop ** [ 7 :diamond:, Q :diamond:, K :spade: ]
BB bets [t28,000]
Hero raises [t56,000]
BB calls [t28,000]

I click it back because I'm pretty sure I have the best hand and I would have bet ~56k had he checked anyway. I put him on A7, QJ, QT, or a mid to low PP (all of which I believe he folds to any bigger of a raise) plus KT and MAYBE KJ.

** Dealing Turn ** [ 3 :club: ]
BB bets [t28,000]
Hero calls [t28,000]

I find it suspicious that he mindonks again. I feel like this puts me in a weird spot, I want a little more value when I'm ahead but I want to control the size of the pot when I'm behind. Almost any raise size turns my hand into a bluff, no?

** Dealing River ** [ 2 :heart: ]
BB bets [t28,000]
Hero calls [t28,000]

At this point I pretty much have him on 33-99, QJ and QT. If I raise I'm only getting called by better hands, but I really can't fold. I hate my life at this spot.

Hey washdog!

Why do you raise flop with sd-value. It makes no sense at all!
Do you want to protect from fd or sd -> than its too low! do you want to bluff? why you have sd-value!

River is very very very often a better qx or a kx hand and rarely a busted draw!
But as all draws bust and as you just need to invest 28k on the river I call!

You'll never know if he has busted fd or sd > its rare but sometimes they play it like that!

Greets,
TIltberger
