$500 Max 2/5 NL cash game at the Taj in AC
Hero BB $400
Villain Cutoff $650
Very tight player raises to $25 in LP. I am on the button and call with Ad,Qd. We see the flop 2 handed.
Flop: As, 3c, 3h
I check and Villain makes a standard c-bet of $30. I raise to $75 and he goes all-in. I was really betwixt and between about what to do here. I actually put him on KK as strange as that sounds. AK was obviously a very distinct possibility. I read him for KK because he had waited so long to finally play a hand and lo and behold (as always seems to happen when you have KK or QQ) there is an A on the flop and his all-in was almost an angry/steam raise b/c of the Ace. We both know his c-bet was automatic and therefore meaningless because I checked to him and I could very well be representing the ace with my raise. In addition, he was staring me down like he wanted to bite my head off and otherwise just acting really strong like he didn’t want a call – and we all know what that means. On the other hand, AK is very likely to be in his range, with the caveat that I have one of the Aces and another one is on the flop (this is why I basically dismiss AA from the realm of possibility). Furthermore, if he does have AK, why go all in? Why not let me hang myself? He is only behind a 3 (almost impossible as I called a $25 raise) or AA?
