Re: Early Doors Heres my view on this: You raised preflop which was right obviously. However with 2 callers you would have to put the other 2 on an Ace with a high kicker or a decent pair (or at least I would have). It turns out he only had a 8 9 so that was wrong. Anyway with the 10 coming on the flop you should have moved all in and that probably would have forced him to fold his hand. However you only bet 214 and he rightly called with bottom pair and a straight draw. Whereas if you moved all in, would he really have called with bottom pair and a straight draw especially as he knows you raised preflop. I wouldnt think so and even if he did you can at least tell yourself you made the right move but luck just went against you.
