Was this straight forward?

interesting how Eck picked up on your bet sizing Mikey , so either make every raise the same std amount or if playing Eck
throw a few curve balls in and min raise big pairs [mix ure range up] etc or if he is betting u off your hand post-flop then depending on position throw in some check raises on the flop or turn etc etc [sorry Eck :) lol i wana see mikey take advantage of his image with u lol ;)

Thanks for the feedback guys, been launching a Google ad words campaign all morning for Dimplex heaters, if you hadn"t noticed its cold outside!!
I hope I am a little less predictable these days Eck ( its been a while since I was on your table) and I try and be a bit more creative on occasions! ;)
Any way my thought process was - Min raise from the CL was weird, he had not done that before, either he had a monster or he wanted to see a flop cheaply without limping, he had just taken a big beat. So surely I am priced in to call? I have 5k in already and it is only 5k more into 22.5k, more than 4:1 on my money. With the blinds so high I decided to call, and see what hit.
Flop 9 2 5 rainbow, no spades!
What now?
AMRN:
firstly, you shouldn"t consider that you had 5k in already - money already in the pot is no longer yours.
You are correct that you are getting the right odds to call, but it"s such a large percentage of your stack, and you will check/fold so many missed flops, that calling here is -EV.
As played, now that you"ve caught top pair you cannot possibly get away from the hand. Open shove to protect what you"ve hit.

Calling pre is terrible, I"d be tempted to check raise now

Think it was 2 or 3 weeks ago mate, wasn"t an APAT game would have been one of the rebuys on ipoker but may have been another mikeyboy for all i know.
Anyway fold pre now i dont mind tbh u have hit top pair if he was strong he will likely call a jam anyway so why not let him bet and have a gamble at the full double up.
