Did I miss out on Value?
For quite some time now, I've felt comfortable multitabling 100NL and every time I hit 1000 in profits I would cash out, but I've decided to ride it and try to climb stakes. Today I played 2 tables of 200NL as well as 2 tables of 100NL.Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (6 handed)
MP ($205.40)
CO ($63.95)
Button ($53.41)
Hero ($98)
BB ($187.21)
UTG ($198)
Preflop: Hero is SB with K
, A. 1 fold, MP calls $2, 2 folds, Hero raises to $9, 1 fold, MP calls $7.
With a limper I did the standard reraise in the small blind.
Flop: ($20) 8
, 2
, 4
(2 players)Hero checks, MP checks.
The board is relatively dry with no flush or str draws. If I was in position, I would have definitely bet out 3/4ths pot, but being OOP I played it safe and checked.
Turn: ($20) K
(2 players)Hero bets $14, MP raises to $28, Hero calls $14.
great card for me, so I decide to get some value from this and bet 3/4ths. To my complete surprise and dismay I was min raised. I could go all in at this point, but thought I would only get called by hands that beat me, so I decided to call.
River: ($76) 6
(2 players)Hero checks, MP bets $32, Hero calls $32.
Final Pot: $140
Results in white below:
Hero has Kd Ad (one pair, kings).
MP has Td Kh (one pair, kings).
Outcome: Hero wins $140.
If he put me all in, I felt like that's how he would play Trips or a BLUFF. But he didn't, he bet small, should I have sensed a small bet would be a dominated king and should I have reraised all in? Was I playing to passively? I'm not sure at all how well I did in this hand.

Joe I am not much of an online player although I am a pretty good live player and I've made some money playing .50/1 and 1/2 online.
Why do you check this flop? You are losing a lot of money if you don't continuation bet most of your preflop raises - just bet 1/2 to 2/3 pot on the flop and you can take it down there.
Your play is fine on other streets, I might alternate between checking on the river and putting out a block bet. But once again, I preface by saying I am not an online player. Keep up the good shows my man and Merry Christmas!
thanks for the comment. OOP on a dry board i'm always 50/50 on making a c-bet. it depends on my read of the player. most people would always c-bet on dry boards. i guess i'm a nit, but, in this case, the player was a calling station that would call with any pair + any overcard.
