Just wanted to pass a play I made today by everyone and see what they think they would have done.
4-8 game, kill on ( ie. game is 8-16 for a round ). 9 players in preflop and one raise, so 9 * 16 dollars = $144 prior to the flop.
A 6 7. I am on the button. Check into me all around and I bet. 5 stay in ( raiser only calls ). Now 144 + 5*8 = 184 in the pot. Turn J. Check to me again. I bet 16. Raiser and one other call. 184 + 48 = $232.
River is another Ace. So the board is A67JA.
Now i have played this hand strong, especially against the raiser. I had K 10. I knew everyone thought I had the ace which was what I wanted. When the ace on the river hit, I saw the raiser look at his chips and go for them, so I quickly put my head down and grabbed 32 and held it out. And he falls for it. He checks with frustration. I bet 16.
Rightfully he is upset, huge pot and he thinks I have 3 aces. So, he grabs 16 and tosses his bet right by chips and disgustedly says "might as well add this to it for you". The whole table is sighing at his call thinking he is burnt.
Well, my stomach hit the floor. He bet with pocket tens thinking I had the nut because he was upset!
Thought I played it perfectly, apparently I was wrong! After that no one would back down and I got crushed.
Did I play it that bad, or was it naive of me to try and bluff out someone who was fairly new to the game????
