3-6 Holdem, mostly weak players. I have been playing tight and aggressive, but running bad. One of those days.
I pick up AA in the cutoff. (Joy!) Middle position raiser (MPR), one caller, I reraise, MPR caps it, caller calls. Flop comes K72 rainbow. MPR bets, caller calls (maybe thats where he got his name?), I reraise. At this point I am afraid of KK, so I reraise to see where I am at. MPR calls, caller drops. Turn comes blank, MPR checks.
My first instinct is to check after him. His preflop cap made me think of KK right away. Then I convince myself that checking would be a weak play and bet. He raises. I cry-call raise and bet on river, he turns over KK.
I should have folded to the raise on the turn. At that point, I was quite sure he had KK. Next time, I will trust my instincts...
