Position matters

BR: $24,061

Evenish day. This hand cost me. My ability to read bluffs at this limit seems only outmatched by the total transparency of my own bluffs. I've had 0% success setting up bluffs. A river check-raise is probably the only convincing line given the decision to bet pot on the flop and check the turn. When I played this hand I was sure villain had a really weak hand ... but now I'm seeing the big problem.

I really dislike how I played this hand. Basically villain was getting very aggressive, and I wanted to punish his persistent raising. I thought he would fold to a flop pot-bet, especially on that board. But given the way this hand panned out, villain can have any hand range from the nuts to 6-high and so I can't call. Yuck.

Position matters.
