Default Too Cool for School

Played this hand earlier today at the $1000 WSOP Circuit Event in Louisville. This was the one interesting hand that I played, and I'd like to hear some thoughts on it.

It is about 1h 50 minutes in, on the 2nd level of the tournament. Blinks are 25/50. I have been playing and raising a lot of pots, and I THINK I have a loose, but reasonable (post-flop) image. The BB has been playing VERY tight, and has shown down only one hand, which was AK.

I pick up 99 in the SB. One guy limps in. I raise it to 200. The BB thinks for a bit, and then calls. The limper calls.

Flop comes Ah Qh 9x

Bingo! I'm praying someone has an ace, so I check. BB thinks, then bets 250. He has about 2200 behind. The limper folds. I have 1750 left and raise to 600. BB thinks forever and then finally just calls.

Turn is 8x. I check. BB thinks for about 30 seconds and then shoves all-in for 1200 more. I call and turn over the set. BB instantly mucks his hand.

After I busted out, I talked to the BB while we were playing in a sidegame, and he revealed that he held 45d. I've thought about that hand for a few hours, and I'm just baffled. Is this just too fancy for me to understand, or does this guy just suck? Any general comments on how I played the hand?

Michael

it is kinda odd that he'd call. What hand did you bust on ( [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] )...but seriously, what was your bust-out hand?

His line of reasoning was that your turn check meant that you tried to CR bluff and were surrendering. Either that, or he lied about what he had.

Very strange play, warning bells would have gone off in my head when you check raise me on the flop, then check into me on the turn. I would have definitely checked behind right there, but would have never called the check raise on the flop.

Not suprised he instamucked his hand like that. I would have been embarrassed about that whole play.

But I would have bet into him on the turn for sure, check raise then check just don't seem fluid to me.
