hand evaluation--Venetian
This hand involved two players at a table that I was playing.
The game is $1/$2 NL.
UTG is a rock, unless he has to pay $1 as a SB or could play as a BB, he hasn't play a pot for probably almost 65 minutes.
Me: i was loose aggressive on this particular day.
The button is a tight aggressive player.
UTG bet $15. Everyone folded to me, and I called with [6s][6d].
The button raised to $47. UTG called. I folded because I have to give respect to UTG and the button having a high pair even though I have the pot odds to make the call.
Pot = $114
Flop: [6h][10d][Jd]
UTG bet $72, and was called by the button.
Pot = $258
Turn: [2c]. UTG and Button both checked.
River: [Jh]
UTG checked and the button checked as well.
UTG turned over [Ac][Kd] and the button turned over [Ad][Ks] for a chop.
_____________________
i still consider myself to be a novice at this game playing less than 3 months. Even though AK is considered a high hand, it is still not a made hand. So, for the rock to play like he did and the tight aggressive to play like he did, it just didn't make sense to me.
Knowing that I could have won if I had invested another $32 pre-flop and hitting my set, I wonder if I had made the right move by folding or should I have made the call against the rock and a tight aggressive.
Also, should UTG or the Button have played their hands differently on the river?
