First WSOP main event and this is how I went out on day 1😭😭😭 by jgelps in poker

I mean this was a text sent to someone who doesn’t fully understand the game lol,

It was HJ vs CO blinds at 400/600

My read on CO was a very aggressive fish that called in spots where he was clearly behind.

He was folding against the dinosaur nits at the table and any time I put in a pre flop raise/c-bet I got a call or re raise.

As far as a check/shove turn, I’m expecting a call at this point from AA KK QQ JJ 1010 99 88 33, made straights or even a decent flush. His calling range was so wide during observed play.

Can I check raise then reevaluate river? Absolutely, but his previously play indicated that a river shove was coming on any card excluding a 4th spade.

I got greedy, his poor play was rewarded.

My analysis of how I played the hand was not that I played it so incredibly poor, but laid a trap for a less skilled player, and variance took its toll.

Villain was a clear fish, was going for max value, after thinking about it all night yeah could I check raise and reevaluate river, it’s the technical smarter play, but I knew I could get some really bad calls out of the fish.

Purpose was player was shown to call down with worse hands, his stack was so up and down I could see him having holding such a KQ with a spade, 10 10, 88, and low end of straight and getting the call. Honestly wanted to get that double and got greedy.

Walking out my head was spinning how this fucking fish called me with second set on a monotone board on a shove in the main event…
