AKsooted UTG rag flop PL

2-5 PL

the game plays bigger than the blinds indicate...much bigger. routinely over 15K on the table, and a $20 straddle on the button.

I raise AK sooted [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]'s UTG to $35, folds around to CO who cold calls, as does the button. ( no straddle this time )


Flop

7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]


I bet $65 CO thinks and thinks, then calls, button ponders momentarily and calls.


River 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I check, CO bets $150 (he has about $600 behind and I cover)
button folds.

I start to wonder if he's flopped a set of sevens or if he has two overs and a club draw.....He seems to play pocket pairs VERY aggressively in most pots. I dont think he re-raises me on the flop because he has position and wants to see what the button is going to do. I dont know if he's capable of laying down 99 here, like, ever, though.


I fold.


I dont like the way I played this hand, and would probably rather have limp re-raised in this spot with AK sooted.



thoughts?
