SB stated at the beginning of the previous level: "I'm going all-in with any two cards eight or higher." Not too sure what to make of it, but the excuse that they won't be able to stay to make it into the money is fallicious at best.

I took a stance of limping to them with big hands hoping they will go all-in. The past few hands SB has been limping in pre-flop, and is basically intimidating the table so there was little fear of a raise after me. I could and would have folded to a signifigant raise pre-flop.

My table image has to be very tight. I've entered very few pots, and won almost every one of those that I've been in past the flop.

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG calls t150, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+2 calls t150, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls t150, Hero calls t150, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls t150, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t1050) Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 3/images/graemlins/club.gif, 4/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(7 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, UTG+2 checks, MP2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t750</font>, Button folds, SB calls t750, BB folds, UTG folds, UTG+2 folds, MP2 folds.

I've seen low cards from SB, so I have to bet enough to discourage any flush/straight draws. I'm worried that I shouldn't have just bet the pot here.

Turn: (t2550) 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB bets t8628 (all-in) , Hero calls t8628.

This looks like a huge overbet to me. It's a tough decision for all my chips, though. SB is a bad enough player to have called the flop bet with a gutshot, and is tricky enough to be raising a flush draw.

River: (t19806) 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t19806

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
SB has 4h 6c (straight, seven high).
Hero has 3h 3d (three of a kind, threes).

Typical response from this forum will be -

So you got all your chips in the middle as a 4 to 1 favorite and got drawn out on. Oh well. All streets played just fine.
