It's a short-handed (7 people), B&M 6-12 game. I've mucked every hand including the blinds (they were raised to me and I had nothing) for the first full round.
UTG I raise and it's folded all the way around to the buttom who calls. He's an aggressive player and usually plays 15-30. The flop comes Ac,Kh,Ks. I bet out on the Flop and am raised. I call.
Turn comes 5d: board reads Ac,Kh,Ks,5d. I check, button immediately bets. It's late, I've been waiting a while for a table, I'm not at my best, been thinking about leaving and the drive home, etc. when the light comes on. What is this guy doing? My first bet at the table is a pre-flop raise and a raise UTG. Shouldn't this guy put me on AK, AA, KK?
I'm not a fancy player -- maybe that's the problem, but he's got to put me on Some type of hand. If he had any of the above hands I think he should put me on, then I reason he would have re-raised me preflop -- so I'm not putting him on AA, AK, KK. I think I should raise, but my mouth says "Call" and the River comes the 9h for a board of Ac,Kh,Ks,5d, 9h. I check, he bets, I call and he says, "If you can call me, you win." and flips his hand over -- and I scoop the pot after he says, "How can you call my raise on the Flop?"
I'll tell you what we both had a little later on. I really want to hear comments on how I played the hand, which I think is pretty poorly -- at the very least, very timidly.
