Preflop
After the 4x raise from SB reggy style player I decided to just call with JJ to get the fishy style player from MP into the pot. That might not the best play. As standard I think would be to ISO 3bet to 10BB for value here.
Flop
SB cbets 1/3 pot, I have a top set and the board is flushdraw heavy. I put SB on random Ax, strong K or overpair here as well as the flush draw, thats why I decided to raise 3,5x here for value and protection, especially with one more opp next to me who could have a smaller set or flush draw.
Turn
After get called by fishy MP we have the worst card OTT. I check my top set to get some bluffs here because all value hands would have a difficult call to my all in here I think, except the flush of course. However my GUT says that opp has a flush and that feeling gets even stronger after his 65BB eff stack shove here to 47BB pot. I was thinking can he gets here and play like this with pocket 55 or 33 sets, I still think there is a small chance as fishy players like limping small pocket pairs preflop. Even if I am against flush, I still have some 23% equity to win a huge pot that probably would guarantee me getting in to the money and play for bigger prize. I decided to call. However I did not have the right odds against a flush, I was given 37% pot odds and my set had only 23% to improve to full house. That makes me feel like that was a MISTAKE in the end of the day...
Please give me your opinion about this hand, tell me if I am a Donk or that was not that bad ![]()
