All right, ussually I'm pretty good about avoiding the unsuited broadway hands (so much trauma has been caused me by KJ), but when there's no preflop agression , I figure limping in late position (here I'm on the button), with KQ is ok (stop me here if that's wrong). In this hand I hit top pair and have a good kicker. The bet is made by a guy who's been leading way too many flops, and I take the call to mean QJ-, or a flush draw (this guys been pretty quiet, I didn't have any notes for him); this is the logic for my pot-sized raise (stop me here if that's wrong). When the caller reraises I expect he's either opverplaying QJ, or has a better piece of this flop. Therefore, I just call because maybe he's limped with AQ, or hit two pair. The turn can't help him so I call the bet. On the river he bets such a small fraction of the pot I feel like he's missed a club draw/realizes low pair is no good. I figure at this point calling is mandatory for such a big pot with such a small bet, but being with 150 left seems silly, so I go all-in. So yeah, this is what I was thinking, critique away. Thanks,
