FreeRoll Limit HE tourney on America's Cardroom.
Only 6 left at the table and Im in LP (2 behind the button) get 5c5s in the pocket and it's called to me. I call. LP behind me bets and everyone folds - I call again. (we're at $100/200 at this point).
Flop comes and it's a monster for me:
544 - rainbow.
LP bets and I call.
I never really have position on this guy to check raise to see exactly where he's going - so I just keep calling his bets. I'm thinking that this guy can't possibly be on 4's as re pre-flop raised - so I got him on a high pair maybe he's on K's or Q's. Even if the dog did PF raise with 4's I figure I'm just in for a bad beat here - but highly unlikely.
River comes:
Ad.
Ouch - now that could hurt. I didn't put the guy on Aces, but at this point anything is possible. It's hard to tell where he's at as we've been on a showdown since pre-flop so I assume he's going to bet again.
Of course, he bets.
Now am I nuts here? I'm not even thinking about NOT calling - hell, in fact it's all i can do not to re-raise the guy.
At any rate I call - and low and behold he flashes the 2 big dogs and hammers my flopped 5/4 full house with his A/4 full house.
Clearly, I'm in the lead the entire way on this hand and I can't see how I could have played it any differently given that it was a showdown from the get-go.
I guess my only questions are:
1. Should I have had this guy on A's and if so:
2. Should I have folded on the river and saved myself an all-in call and thus the tourney?
ARGHHH!!!
