Reads: Middle aged white guy whose a reg but who somehow I don't have a strong read on. The only hand I have on him is this...
Folds to him on the button, he raises to $10, only SB calls, Flop is K J 5 rainbow. He bets pot against SB, who calls. Turn is a blank, he makes another large bet, SB calls. River is a blank, check/check, and SB is good with KQ. Not a very telling hand...except we know he's not a super tight nit (i.e. he put in two bets with K10 or worse). Also, he recently checked down a heads up raised pot. On the river, he had 98o for nine high and could have bluffed, but he didn't (it was a decent bluff spot).
He limps UTG. Another limper in MP. Folds to me in the Co and I make it $17. This is an abnormally large raise size, but I made it due to the stack size and the fact that table was fairly loose preflop. Only villain and the other MP limper call.
$54 in the pot, $170 effective vs. villain and $150 effective vs the other limper.
I have Q
Q
and Flop comes K
K
7
. Checks around. My reason for checking is simple: pot control.
Turn is the 10
. Villain leads for $25 and I'm the only caller. River is the 8
and he bets $50. Hero?
