Allright game is NL 0.25-0.50 Stars.
Hero is SB with KK. UTG who is a very loose aggressive player( I'd been watching the table for about 20 minutes before I sat down) raises $2 making it $2.50 to go. All fold to me. I consider just calling but then realize I don t want to be in early position against a habitual bluffer especially in case the dreaded Ace would hit. I also figure I have the best hand at this point. SO I reraise $5 making it $7.50 to go. BB folds and UTG instantly moves in. I put him on a hand like AK or QQs(hopefully not AA but it doesn t make sense for him to move in so fast with AA because it makes his hand LOOK strong by acting so fast.) Anyway it's not much of a decision for me. I have to call. Im pot committed at this point. Flop comes out 5dAh2s I think I've probably lost at this point due to the A. Turn is 7c. River is 9h.
UTG reveals 6s8s for Nut straight. Now that wasn't just a bad beat story. I want to know whether reraising to $7.50 preflop was correct. Even though the guy was apparently trying to bluff me out of the pot if he did have Aces I was pot committed to (most likely) pay him off.
