I can't quite make my mind up but I don't think it was bad. The diamond on the river is a bit of a concern isnt it.

I just saw he'd mucked his hand but did put him on A2 when reading. I then saw at the bottom that I guessed right and I expect you did too.


Your preflop call is OK I think, you have 20 or so blinds and are in a position to take a look at a few.

Your getting 3 to 1 for your call there on the flop. I'd of thought I might of been ahead there and thought about a raise but I'd be happy to call here also (with possibly a mind to make a decent raise on the turn if he seems weak)

He small bets the turn and I think you can call this too. Maybe there is a case for raising here and stealing since you think he's weak but you have the belly buster(oh ive never written that in here before lol)
Maybe we can't count the 6's as outs?
If you're correct in your read and he's playing A2 then the implied odds look worthwhile.

Tricky one for me. You're risking chips and I sense that maybe you were looking for a chance to show aggression somewhere on the flop or turn. It's all about your read here and it worked. Nice one.

I think you played it a lot better than your opponent did certainly.
