I think this was my most dissatisfied hand yesterday. My rationale is that, based on the lack of sufficient data but loose stats on villain, he appears to be a little more loose. I don't put him on Ace 10 as a result, in which I would never call, but rather a pocket pair or some ridiculous combination of low cards (as it shows, he had 10 9).
I think my bet was iffy at best on the flop. I typically bet the flop with the amount equaling the size of the pot if I have a good shot of winning, as I can push people out of hands or at least figure out where they stand. When he raised, I had originally put him on a set, and felt confident of my call.
But when he goes all-in on the turn, I should have given it up. Realistically I have 17-18 outs out of 45 (once he reveals), and am only getting a little more than 2.5 to 1 on my money. It's a gamble to bother, and I'm not playing to gamble: I'm playing to make smart calls/bets and to win with the better pot odds. Instead I call, and lead to this being one of my bigger losses for the day.
I currently stand at 222, starting the day at around 310. I'll try again later today and see where I go from there.
