session summary

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 4191 hands and saw flop:

- a total of 638 out of 4191 (15%)
Pots won at showdown - 75 of 144 (52%)
Pots won without showdown - 363

I was playing for hours already and I was on quite a run. I started thinking that it is time for a big cooler or bad beat. I was in the big blind and it was basically blind against blind. I had 89os and decided to check after the small blind had limped. The flop came down 89Q and the small blind fries out a bet that was bigger than the pot. I flopped top two pair and he fires into me like this? He does not know what I have and I do not know what he had. I shoved. Terrible play, I was instant called by the flopped straight.

I should have played the hand better. Since we did not know much about each others strength on the flop. I could have called to see how he continues. I think if I had raised he was going to shove and I would have called him down. I guess in those kinds of situations its best to call and see if there is really strength behind the opponents bet and maybe just calling down all the way to the river. That way the minimum is only lost, I lost the maximum. There is the room for improving my donk play. If I call I might get a full house on the way and actually put myself in a position where I would have the best hand most of the time and he would have called an all in often with the straight. The beauty of the suckout.
