So what happened here ?  My preflop position raise with connectors is standard & in fact i’ll raise with less here then my opponent 4 bets me, he has not really gotten out of line in this session so I flat.  His flat call on the flop could suggest -

Spade draw – Single Ace – Maybe two pair (but I think this particular opponent is not 4 betting pre with K Q)

He checks again when the turn blanks so I quite happily fire again.

I am thinking he held A J.

I think MyPokerLab is improving my game and I am taking stock of my opponents more as I grind away on PokerTime.

After watching my opponent play for some hands, my gut just said “Bluff” to his allin reraise on the turn, after all, if I am betting into him why scare me off when he can be certain he will get value from a probability of another barrel from me ?
