Home game, .50/1 blinds, $100 max
UTG ($600)
Hero ($250)
SB ($70)
Button ($180)
Stack sizes are approximations
First off, UTG is running better than I've ever seen anyone, has turned his $100 into $600, is playing any two, and has called big raises pre-flop with hands such as K2s, J2s and taken huge pots (off me), by making flushes each time.
I've re-bought twice but am sitting on $250 due to a flopped nut straight that the big stack paid off.
Hero picks up A /images/graemlins/club.gifK /images/graemlins/spade.gif in the BB.
UTG limps, button limps, Sb calls, I check.
Flop: A /images/graemlins/spade.gif, J /images/graemlins/spade.gif, 5 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
SB checks, I check, UTG bets $10 (as he will do with any piece, he would play bottom pair in this manner)
Button folds, SB calls, I bump it to $25, UTG calls, SB folds.
Turn: 4 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
I bet $35, without hesitating UTG makes it $60, I curse to myself and call.
River: 4 /images/graemlins/heart.gif
I check, UTG checks.
Thoughts everywhere appreciated. I don't think I played the turn well. When the four hits on the river, I almost bet but figure if he calls I'm beat, if he raises I fold and kick myself for the next week. So I checked. If anyone does anything else on the river, I'd love to hear why. I'll post the results if there's enough interest.
Just for fun, guess what the big stack had?
