Would love to get your thoughts on how this hand went down.
Blinds 2k 4k, average stack 195k
Hero raises to 14k from middle position with AcQc.
One caller, big stack at over 400k flats.
Flop comes down Js6c2d. Both players check. Turn is a blank (can’t remember exactly, maybe a 3)
Villain is first to act and bets out 25k, making the pot over 55k. Hero reads this as a standard squeeze of himself in the small stack, thinks AQ might be good and reraises all-in for 57k.
Villain calls and turns over J4 Off.
My own thoughts; Why was he in the hand? The preflop raise at 3.5x should have gotten rid of that kind of muck. I probably should have jammed pre-flop, stole the blinds and antes and waited for a better spot. With 14k in the pot and only 57 left behind I could only fold or push.
My read that he didn’t have much was accurate even though he still had more than I thought. I saw it as we both missed and him with the big stack was just bullying. I reckon there are a lot of situations where I make that move and he either folds or calls with a worse holding.
