hi everyone
this hand occurred last night in a 5-10 game. i'm posting it here because....because.....oh man did i ever make a great play. i just want to post it here.
it's 5-10 ish, but the opponents are solid regulars who play well. i am in the BB with AQo, and the UTG
+1 limps and gets folded to the button who also limps. the SB folds and i raise.
the flop comes T55r and i bet out. the UTG+1 calls and the button folds, so we're heads up.
the turn produces a 9 putting two clubs on. now the UTG+1 is very solid and good, but i've stung him and a few others so there's a little grumbling going on and when i bet, an opponent who is weak doesn't like it. and i know that this opponent will not like it if i bet, so i bet bang very decisively. and my opponent calls. but i sense victory.
the river produces a rag, and no doubt i bet. well, my opponent does a sudden reversal and raises. i'm thinking, 'twenty bucks. what in the world...?'. but that card didn't help him. he stayed the same as before. and he also grumbled 'there, what do you think about that?' but there was no fluidity. he was putting out static like. and i could sense stomach acid refluxing. i don't know if there are other posters who can sense acid reflux, but i can. he was very acidie like. i instantly called and it was a great call. he was on a busted draw and was bluff-raising the river. i then was able to take control of the table and no one took a shot at me all night. i went up a couple hundred and dropped down to up a hundred for the night, but tomorrow i will do better, and i owe it all to that wonderful call.
sometimes, when you make the tough call, you just feel like a king.
