how i lost a huge pot in yesterday's league last league event i get out really early.. here is the hand when i lost huge pot, and i want to know what's your opinion if i played it right or wrong?
it was really early stage with low blinds.. i was dealt 55 (which is one of my favourite hands) on a 5-6 players table.
drago raised a preflop for 125 chips, thinkerbell and me called the raise..
flop was K54 all different suits.. drago betted 1/3 of a pot, thinkerbell called after big pause, i was thinking for a while what to do and decided to slow play my set only called there - trying to make a bigger pot (i was hoping somebody is holding AK or KQ or a high drawing hands). Turn was 9 (4th different suit), thinkerbell made a bet of a pot size, i reraised (or moved allin), and i was called (drago folded). Showdown: thinkerbell was holding 99 winning that pot with trips nines..
when i analyze that hand again, my opinion is that i made a bad move not raising that pot on flop. but that wasn't scary flop and turn for me at all (no flush, str8 draws (besides that low str8 draw on flop, but i was pretty sure nobody is holding 67).. but, when i looked that CD tutorial (where i learnt about hold'em play) i remember the advice of T.J Cloutier in the quiz section with similar situation (maybe you're outhdrawn with bigger set, but there is no chance you will fold set on board like that)..
what is your opinion ?
