In a home game tonight I came across a very interesting situation. We are five handed playing .10/25 cent pot-limit hold-em or Omaha. Villian is a complete donk maniac and has had to rebuy (25 dollars) three times from hands he has lost to me. Some background info on villian. I am his superior at work and he is constantly trying to prove that he is better then everyone at any giving task. It could be foosball, our profession, any current topic of discussion, and once a week, it's poker. He's not an ass about anything, just always trying to best everyone in any given task/situation/conversation. This should be enough background about villian and his motivations. If anyone needs more please let me know.
As for the hand, I am on the button and dealt A Q and raise the pot making it a 1.50 to go. Villian, re-raises without looking at his cards. Everyone folds and I call. Flop comes rainbow 2, 4 5. He pot bets. I re-raise pot and he re-raises back. This is where I instanly made the decesion to keep re-raising until he is all in. The turn is a queen and the river a king. Knowing you are ahead pre-flop against any random two cards did I do the right thing when I missed. Or should I have just laid it down on the flop. I knew I was gambling, but I had every right to think I was ahead. It was a very interesting hand.
