BB special $100 NL

[winky51]

Bad guy is a player that generally plays the right hands in the right position. Likes to limp, likes to slowplay. I did not figure him for a draw with middle cards. At best QJ

I'd say he has 33, 89s, JTs, or is scared to raise with TT. Two pair is tough to play. I would probably have folded to the push tho.

Is this weak?

What you can hope for is AJ, that's the only kind of hand I will place him on (after your read) that you can beat. The strange thing is why he don't reraise, UTG can be on a straight draw or something, so if he holds TT or JT he should reraise, hmm. Maybe he have QQ...

Thats what I was thinking why didnt he reraise. I figured if my hand was good I would know right there for $25 not later on paying $100. My images was pretty good at the table.

Well he thought for a a couple seconds and called the flop

When the reraise came to him he didnt take a second to think and just called. Seemed very odd to me.

So the old, he's thinking that I'm thinking, that he's thinking deal went on. I took him off a draw because so many other people had originally called and I figured they were all the draws after they folded for $25. If he had 2 pair I think he would have reraised me or put me all in figuring I had the lower 2 pair and he had JT.

So it came down to a set of 66, AJ, or he limped with AA or KK. Turn came and I added up all the possibilities and figured my best move was all in. Only 2 ways 66 can come up and much more of the other hands.

he showed KK, my BB special for 99 cents held up.

Thats what happens when you limp. I hate limping with AA and KK. Rather win a small pot than lose a big one.

[swedeD]

true. When I'm trying to do a limp reraise with AA and no one raises, I feel like a stupid monkey... /images/graemlins/grin.gif He was in middle position and was maybe aiming for a reraise and then he couldn't fold.
