Outcome: MP1 won $8.73
So my thought for this hand:
Preflop: fold is possible, but I thought it's quite a nice hand, so I limped aswell. After the raise and 2 callers I got a nice price to see the flop, so I called.
Flop: Got an OESD, normally I would bet around 50% of the pot. Ingame I'm not sure, why I didn't lead here. I would be fine if everyone would fold. My only explanation is, that I didn't want to play a really big pot, so I didn't want to bet into 4 people. My solution is to check to get a free card and it worked.
Turn: I hit my straight, there is also a flushdraw, so I bet around 75% of the pot. I was pretty confident holding the best hand here. I got raised and called, so I thought the raiser might have some kind of flushdraw and wants to get the pot right here. I just called, if the rivercard would be a diamond I would maybe find the fold button. I still didn't want to commit too much into that pot.
River: I was very glad there was a blank (no diamond). So I tried to get some value here and bet quite small. Maybe I get some call from AK, a set or something.
I was really surprised after I got raised, and after UTG check->called, I thought: "what??? wait, what hands could they have?" Now I noticed AQ is a hand which is beating me and it's possible that one of those players is holding it. The pot is already soo huge, and I was also trying to find hands which I beat and which could make sense. Because I was holding a Queen, I thought, that AQ is a bit less likely. They could have two pair, maybe some sets. The all in push might also possilby have a busted flushdraw, but this is also not very likely.
I had a really bad feeling, but the potodds were really good, so I couldn't find the fold button and called.
I would really appreciate some comments on the hand or my thoughts. I hope my english is find to understand, I tried my best ![]()
Thanks for helping me.
