Online PLO game .50/$1 blinds. The other player in this hand Luv2Play has just won 4 pots in a row without showing down. I haven't been at the table for that long, only like half an hour or so. He's got a big stack... max buy-in is $100 and he's already at like 200 when I sit down. I have moved my stack to around $250 and his is around $240. Something important to mention is the fact that the money I have on the table is my case money at this site. Here's the hand history with my comments put in as well:
Dealt to wsop2005 [Ah Ac Td Kc]
badczech: folds
africa: calls $1
Murray: calls $1
wsop2005: raises $4.50 to $5.50
(I had been limping with big pairs, but I like this hand so I decided to put in a raise here to maybe get some isolation. Also, I wanted to get Murray out of the hand if possible, I don't like playing against him.)
Mr. Gutshot: folds
luv2play: raises $14 to $19.50
(Ok, the only times I've seen him raise pre-flop since I've sat have been with AAxx or KKxx)
AaronW: folds
africa: folds
Murray: folds
wsop2005: calls $14
(maybe I should have made a big reraise here, but I figured I'd see the flop and if no king came I'd raise him as long as the board wasn't too coordinated.)
*** FLOP *** [7h Qd 2s] (pretty much the perfect flop for me)
luv2play: bets $39.90
wsop2005: raises $119.70 to $159.60
(I raise, wanting to win a somewhat big pot right here.)
luv2play: calls $119.70
(He thinks for a pretty long time before making this call. When he calls I put him on KKQJ or something of the sort.)
*** TURN *** [7h Qd 2s] [Qh] ([censored]!)
luv2play: bets $67.40 and is all-in
wsop2005: folds
(I thought for a long time before this, but I read him for a Q and another one came on the turn. I didn't want to put the rest of my money in here with what I thought to be 2 outs. I fold even though I'm getting almost 4-1 on my call. )
wsop2005 said, "wow"
luv2play collected $358.20 from pot
luv2play: shows [4d 9c 6d Tc] (a pair of Queens)
SO.... He showed me a completely naked bluff and I felt like an idiot, but should I have called because the pot was so huge anyways? Looking back, and hindsight is 20/20, I guess he was just putting his money in b/c a bit of a scare card peeled off the deck and he thought he could push me off a hand with his bluff. He was apparently right. I saved my $75 and turned it into $200 in the rest of that session, but that hand has bothered me for a long time.
All comments, positive or negative greatly appreciated. TIA.
