I played this hand last night in a 10-20 half kill game. I had already played 30 hours from thursday to saturday, and I was about ready to fall asleep at the table. 7 handed game, I limp in UTG with Ac5c. All folded to BB who calls. Just a note on the BB, he is a casino employee who normally plays 3-6, and is very uncomfortable in our game. I've never seen him make a move or bluff at a pot before, and he plays weak. Anyway, flop comes K 2 9 with two clubs. He checks, I bet, he calls. Turn comes a 5, he checks, I check. (I should have probably bet here). River brings the 9 of clubs, giving me the nut flush, but also pairing the board. Now he bets. I stop and think for a minute, and decide to raise, because given the action prior to the river, it wouldnt seem he has made a full house. He reraises seconds later. Now Im thinking to myself would he really reraise a king high flush. I also consider the fact that its doubtfull that he had the King of clubs, because there was a King on the flop, and he didnt bet. I figured him for the full house and folded. He later told me he had pocket 7s, and was looking to check raise the turn but I didnt bet. How many just call the river i this situation instead of making the first raise? Also, who else thinks that this laydown is way too tough to make on the river even know it didnt cost me? Comments appreciated.
