Okay, this TAG is probably legendary in Southern California mid limit games. He has a higher then normal "push all in" pre-flop for $5-$30 in blind money. Always says he had aces, but I've seen callers catch him with KQs.
Anyway, I'm in the BB with 55 and he enters the pot for only $25. Two other callers and I call.
I have everybody covered with $1100, raiser has $600, both callers have about $350
Flop comes A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 5 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 4 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
I check, raiser bets $50, one caller and I call.
Turn card is K /images/graemlins/club.gif
I believe my opponant has AK. I think he thinks I have a pair with a flush draw. The 3rd man I think has a flush draw. I'm pretty positive he has not flopped a straight, as he is young, inexperienced and sending off those subliminal tells that let you know he's concerned about his hand and definetly interested in whats cards coming.
What do you do? Results in white.
<font color="white"> Knowing the initial raiser is going to bet, and make a committing bet at that, I go for the check raise. I end up putting both all in. I really don't want the board to pair (unless a 5) or another diamond to come. 7 spades falls and I beat out AK, and set of 4's. </font>
