Bellagio $8/$16. We were five or six-handed, and an aggressive player (who I thought was adjusting nicely for the shorthanded game, unlike the others) open-raises my big blind, either 1st or 2nd UTG. All fold to me (told you they weren't adjusting well) and I call with 8d7d.
Flop was 875, no flush possibility. I check, he bets, I throw out 16 chips, and I let him take me to 5 bets before finally calling. I figure I'm against pocket 66, or an overpair such as TT, not a set or straight, but decide to see if I improve.
Turn comes the 9, I check and he checks. I kick myself.
River 10, I check, he bets, I call ($130 or so in the pot). What is his hand?
All comments welcome. Will post the answer later.
