2-4 table, sitting on $106, new guy sits down and buys in for $500. i immediately tag him as someone who will be aggressive, otherwise, why the high buy-in? (this is played on pokerroom, by the way). Table has been mostly tight-passive so far. New guy with all the cash, raises UTG, folds to me in the cutoff, i call with 99, blinds fold. flop comes 247, rainbow. he bets, i raise, he raises, i cap, he calls. turn brings a king. action is check, bet, call. river is an 8 and action is check, check. He shows down KQo and takes the pot.
I play mostly $6-$22 SNGs and do quite well at them. I have played 2-4 in AC before with good success, but not enough to dub myself a good limit player. Hoping to hear if I could have played this hand any differently... the thought of him having a higher pair than I did crossed my mind, but the amount of time he took to make the raises after the flop made me think he was on 2 high cards, probably AK or AQ. I think maybe the only thing I could have done differently is not capped it on the flop, but doing so quite possibly bought me a cheap turn and river. Thoughts?
