1/2 NL Live Deep Stacked

Mempho · #1 12-12-2005, 06:59 PM

I've been running well in this game....taking a $200 buy-in and turning it into $1500+. I am the big stack at the table and I am in the CO. The button is the second big stack with about $1250.

3 limpers to me I call with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Button calls, SB completes, BB taps the table (Pot: $10)

Flop is J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Checked to me...I bet $8

Button calls and BB calls (Pot: $34)

Turn is the A

BB checks, I bet full pot, button calls, BB folds (Pot $102)

I glance at the button and catch him looking at his chips and think, "looks like he wants to call a big bet." I bet all-in (he has about $1200 left at this point) and he looks up at me and shrugs his shoulders, "I call."

I immediately table my hand and he tables his K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I point to my ace of hearts as the dealer pushes the pot towards the villain. He says, king-high, then I say...no ace-high and then I get that sinking feeling and the fog and desire to vomit comes over me.

Yeh...I actually started to argue with the dealer before I thought to check the board real carefully. I was absolutely stunned.

With that riverbet you will only get called by better hands.

Please explain the riverbet. Whether or not you thought you had the nuts is irrelevant here, also that you saw him getting ready to call a bet since you could not know how large a bet he was willing to call. I just do not understand your action here and what you were thinking.

Given that hero didn't realize that there was a possible straight flush, he was probably losing his stack anyway.
