We're playing nickel-dime poker at our home game (we're very poor college students). I'm up about 20 BB for the session.
I'm in MP with K /images/graemlins/heart.gif J /images/graemlins/diamond.gif. It's folded to me, and I decide to take a stab with a 3xBB raise. I get folds all the way over to the big blind (a maniac) who just calls.
Flop comes:
A /images/graemlins/spade.gif Q /images/graemlins/spade.gif T /images/graemlins/club.gif
He checks, I make a pot sized bet (6.5 BB), and he thinks for a while and calls.
Turn comes T /images/graemlins/spade.gif and he immediately announces "All-in".
Based on his playing style, I put him on either ATo or QTo. He totally overvalues these hands and he may have been trying to "slowplay" his two pair on the flop (despite the fact that it's in very bad shape...).
I eventually muck the hand, telling him I've "laid down a monster." He eventually did show, but I'm obviously not going to say what it was so that I can get a better critique.
