I recently turned 21 so I've been working on the transition from online to live poker at the casino. Over the weekend I played in a 9 handed table in a 1/2 game. 8 of the 9 players had between $100-$200 in chips ($200 was max buy-in and $100 minimum) but 1 guy had about $450 in chips. I'm UTG and pick up 7d7h and raise it up to $7 and it folds around to the button and my raise was called by the button and both blinds. The BB was the guy with the big stack and he had been playing very loose and trying to play bully of the table and had been calling off very loose. The flop comes 7s 3h 10d. I check with the big stack behind and it's checked over to him where he bets $15. I call and both other players fold. The turn comes the 6c. Once again I check not really worried about him having a straight because he had been playing pretty much anything. He checks behind, which got me thinking. Turn comes 2s and I begin to go through the ranges. I had seen him make similar moves earlier in which he had JJ and QQ so I begin to put him on this type hand and I check once again trying to get him to value bet. Instead he bets $275 putting me all in. He bets $275 into a pot of $58 had me somewhat puzzled. Each time during the session he had made large bets it was with over pairs to the board. So I go through ranges and settle on him with having something like QQ or a bluff so I call. He flips over 98 for the straight. Did I make any key errors in the hand, just get out played, or run into variance? Thanks for all feed back!
