MTT Perfect Read, How to play better?

So I had the spot on read on this guy, and I knew he had been playing mediocre hands like Kx, QJ, Ax etc from late. So the Flop was half in his range, so I opted to check in hopes he would bet turn so I can reraise. Should I just have moved all in on the turn? Do you think it would it even have made a difference?

Or should I have just Potted the flop and hope that he doesn't dump his hand? and C bet the turn?

fold pre

This is like a triple threat whine/bad beat/brag post.

You say that you have a perfect read in your title, then you say it again in your post, and then it's clear you're referring to your chat about calling out A7. And then you decide to pay him off and then whine about it? If your read is perfect then calling probably isn't a good idea?

Come on dude.

Fold pre, as played bet flop, as played just shove turn.

I was stealing because I really didn't play a hand for 2-3 rounds. Obviously It's standard to fold preflop with this garbage hand but I thought I could take it down preflop with a bet. Yesterday I was running good, but today I've just been card dead and pretty much forced to do bad stuff like this.

How is this a whine/bad beat/brag post?

I'm just wondering if I should have shoved turn or just bet flop or whatever.

Because you lost the hand

bad beat

because he made his straight

brag post?

because you called his hand and had a perfect read

By the way, what does your read reagarding mediocre Qx Kx in late position have to do with how he plays oop?

I'm not whining or bragging or complaining about a bad beat. Just asking for some input. Don't get into a hissy sorry jeez

villain defends lots of bbs so lets raise a hand that makes us lose money

wtf are you doing preflop is the only thing worth discussion here, tom dwan.

pretty good flop to bet ducy?

going apeshit rofl on this one
imo

Yikes... So yea I'm folding pre doesn't matter if I have been tight I dunno what would make u play it here. Betting flop... as played I'm shoving turn. And I'm never folding river unless ofcourse I was you and knew for sure he had A7 then I guess folding is correct

llllllllloooooooooooooolllllllllllllll

If you think flop was half in his range then betting seems optimal.

Him defending w/ A7o makes both pre and flop pretty bad.

I thougt preflop was bad
then I saw the flop...

Did you get any farther into the hand???

***Spoiler Alert***





















...It gets worse

PF: loose open exploiting our big skill edge against Big Lenny T. I'm on board so far, let's hope he calls so we can win more on average than just the blinds.

flop: bingo! this pretty much adds his stack to ours. I like your check behind for deception, since we have a stone read anyway (more streets of us playing perfectly = more $$$) and he has no idea where he's at. Most grindbot nits would make the mistake of betting here

turn: the sucker bets out, just what we want. This is a great card for us because we know he has A7 and that'll keep him in the hand

river: unfortunate. We know he hit the straight but we have to call for 480, a small price to pay to make everyone at this table fear us when we encounter them in future tournaments. It's still a good thing we kept him in because his gamble on the turn was -ev and we knew he had A7 anyway so we can safely ignore all other hands in our analysis

no real advice here, just wanted to confirm that u played the hand perfectly. Sick read btw!

i actually think the funniest part is that you say "a7 or some trash"

dude seriously, one thing: with that stacks, fold pre. If you both were like 200 BB deep+you have sick edge over everyone maybe you can play that profitably. But like this-no.

I love jelles post srsly
