Sigh, misread!

1/9/10
I'm very satisfied with my poker for the moment, I've done plenty of interesting reads lately. Most of them correctly, often based on details like betting patterns and unexpected betting amounts. I got pretty confused a few times though.


The reason why I read jullum so weirdly is because I know him well, he's a experienced grinder and I didn't expect him to make such big mistakes. When he min-raised me postflop I were pretty sure that he just tried to steal the pot. My C-bet was very expected, and I knew that he knew that. Why would he just min-raise the pot if he had top pair? The only hands that made real sense was a flopped straight or air. Any pair, two pair or trips should be raised much more according to the scary board. I really don't know if he played it bad or totally brilliant! Anyway, he took my chips.


Even though jullum is a good player, I respect IsanI even more.
When he bet so small at every street, i couldn't see anything else than him holding nuts trying to make me raise him. The situation was so weird, and I couldn't put him on a queen. It didn't made any sense, so i choose to just call him afraid to face a deuce. I were totally wrong and later I've thought through the hand a plenty of times, and I starting to understand why he bet such small amounts.
