Hand Discussion #1, Continued...
Well, I had hoped for more than 2 comments, but they both get right to the chase of the mistake I made.
The original raiser is a very tight player so his leading right off with a bet sent alarms off in my head. My first reaction was that he had hit a higher set than me, unfortunately I just didn't listen to my gut and smooth called his bet. There was one more caller behind me.
Flop: 9c 8d 5c
Turn: 8c
Dammit! Paired the board... why did you have to pair the board, dealer!?!?!
Raiser leads out for $50 and I still couldn't get the fives out of my hand.
The river was a brick and he ended up having 99 in his hand for a better boat which cost me an additional $87 after the flop to see.
I completely misplayed this hand as I should have raised the flop to figure out where I was at. I still don't know that I wouldn't have called his reraise as I would have had him on either an overpair or a higher set, and I think it's incredibly hard to absolutely give credit for him having a higher set. But the action should have been dictated on the flop and not past it. I got myself pretty much stuck on the turn when I picked up a full house.
It was an $80 lesson in how to play a set with that kind of board, so I suppose I'd rather learn that lesson at these stakes than make the same mistake playing 5/10 NL.
