I am in my usual 8-16 game. 4 limpers to the cutoff who raises, SB calls, I call in BB with Ah7h.
Flop As4c2c, SB bets right out. I played against SB a few times and he is not great, but better than most of the other guys I play against. With this flop, I thought most likely he has a flush draw. If he had an Ace, I thought he probably goes for the check raise. I raised and attempted to get it heads-up. The players in this game respect my raises. Normally, I would fold an Ace with a weak kicker with a large field behind me including a preflop raiser, but the pot was big, and I felt if nobody had an ace, I could get it heads-up and I really thought SB was drawing.
Turn 4h. SB bets out. I don't believe him. I still think he has a flush draw and he is semi-bluffing. I think he probably wouldn't have called a raise in the small bind with a four, and if he did, he would check-raise his lucky turn. I raise again. He calls and this confirms in my mind his draw.
Turn is the lovely Ac. I bet and he calls and flashes me the...4d2d...What? Yeah, that's what he had, he turned a full house. I misread him as a player, and I misread his hand all the way. Other than that, what do you think of my play?
