This hand was near the bubble in last night's mini Bounty Hunter, my opponent raises to 1600 from an 8k stack. I pick up ak on the button with an 11k stack.
I raise it up to 4k with my thinking of making his decision either shove it all in or fold. Annoyingly he just flat calls my raise. Now im in a tricky spot on a 2 3 j rainbow flop, do i check and let him bet or do i bet an put the pressure & the decision back on him? i choose the latter and bet 4.6k, he thinks for a fair while and then shoves. I admit my flop bet was prob to big, no having put this much in the pot i am forced to call the rest.
He turns over a pair of 9's. The turn was a 7 & i luckily hit my ace on the river.
I got some stick in chat box for how poorly i played the hand, i may be wrong & im open to critiscism but i think my main mistake was the bet on the flop being to big.
My argument against my poor play was him flatting my raise pre flop, surely with a pair of 9's after my raise he either has to put the lot in and go with it or fold????

Own your mistakes just like you'd own your well-played hands. Leads to a clearer thought process on hands you've played. If you say something different after the fact then you might let your mind believe that. One of these posts is the truth, not both. No need to cover with us if that was the reason, nobody cares enough, and we have all made bad plays with hands.
As a side note. You could declutter your hand posts too a bit. I'm wordy - so I'm hardly one to talk, but you go over a lot of what is shown by the HH post it
