Hi! Just looking for some insight into a hand I played the other night in the middle stages of a tournament. No real reads on villain other than he was quite chatty and smiley while in a hand and not.
Stacks -
Me: 63k
Villain: 67k
Blinds, 1k/2k
Villain raises to 5K UTG, CO calls, SB folds and I defend Q9 in the BB.
Flop is 962 and I check. Villain bets 9k, CO folds and I call.
I didn't see any logic in check raising. I'm only getting called by overpairs with a club and made flushes, against which I'm essentially dead. I have 14 outs against overpairs without a club (9 clubs, 3 Qs, 2 9s)
Turn is 3. Villain bets 21k. I tank and call.
This is where I think I made a mistake. I don't think he's double-barreling without at least one high club and given his UTG raise, they have to be a possibility.
River is Q. Villain shoves. I think for about a minute and reluctantly call it off.
Obviously there is really nothing I can do here. I didn't think he'd triple-barrel an overpair for value with the three clubs on board, so I figured he either had a flush or air. I took a minute to try to get some sort of physical tell, to little avail. I threw the chips in with top two.
He turns over JT for a flopped flush and I'm out.
I've been talking to a few poker friends who have said that it was just poker. If he was a right-thinking player and had the Q9 and I had the flush, the hand would've played out the same.
Any thoughts?
