Hi all, hand I played a couple of weeks ago -- been debating if I made the right decisions ever since.
I'm UTG+1, sitting with about $750. UTG limps, I raise with AK to $20, get a couple of callers, including UTG.
Pot is about $80
Flop is:
A
10
5
I decide someone will bet this flop, and that a CR will probably take it down right there. Villain immediately to my left bets $40, everyone folds but UTG, who flats. I have played a lot with the guy to my left, I am pretty positive he has Ax, doesn't have two pair, and I know that he hates to fold top pair. He has about $170 more behind him. I raise to $225 expecting an all-in call, and UTG to fold a flush draw.
Guy to my left thinks for a while, keeps mumbling about how I overbet the pot, and doesn't know why I would bet so much. Finally, he calls. Villain to my right sees some friends of his, talks about how he thinks this is going to be "it" (as in, he might lose all his money) - asks me if I flopped trip aces or trip 10s, then calls. He has about $500-$600 behind him.
I had originally put UTG on a flush draw, but after his flat, I'm thinking trip 5s, or bottom two is a possibility (at these games, limping UTG with T5 is definitely possible). Flush draw is still a possibility. I specifically don't think he has an ace (if he did, it would be odd of him to ask me if I have AA when it's clear that the guy all-in has an ace, and one is on the flop).
Main pot is $710, side pot is $30
Turn is a blank, maybe 6
. Villain checks. Now I think a flush draw is likely and I would like to bet him off of it, but don't want to become over-committed here with TPTK. He might have two pair, and be concerned about getting felted from my trips. I check.
River is 10
.
Villain very quickly bets $200. Call or fold?
