Feel like this should go here instead of the COVID thread.

Hand No. 1

Mandatory utg straddle is on so it’s 5/10/20. CO raises to 50, both blinds call, I call 44.

Flop (200) AQ4r the first blind leads 125, I call, the CO calls. I don’t think I’m bluffing that spot often in this lineup, and I don’t think he’ll give me many bluffs on this board, so we slow play. I’m also called, and we’re deep so I don’t want to go nuts with the PFR behind.

Turn (575) Tx He bets ~400, I call. I was going to raise some turns some of the time, but I don’t like this one. I doubt the PFR peels KJ here often, but he can have QQ and AA. SB can also stab KJ on the flop. PFR folds.

River (1375): Ax he bets 700. I think for a little while, make it 2100 and get tank sigh called by KJ. I thought the river was actually close. We’re like $5500 deep and we don’t want to get stuffed on. But I think he’s calling KJ and maybe other AX. Of course he can also have AQ AT A4.

I think this is why I could never play poker for a living.

No way I could raise that river with the worst full house possible on that board.

What would you have done if he re-raises all in?
