Cash game with ante, no blinds. 4 handed close to the end of the night. It goes check check and I raise with pocket 5's. The last player calls and the first two fold. The flop comes A 5 9. I check, thinking it will induce a bet with his Ace if he has one. He checks. next card is a 3. I check, he bets I raise, he re-raises and I try to go all in but we have a 3 action rule that seldom gets used. The river is a 9, giving me a full house. I go all in, he folds. He had a straight A to 5.
Now, I knew he could have a straight there, or even a higher set. I didn't put him on a higher set because we've played together a lot and aa or 99 would have most likely been re raised pre flop. I didn't put him on the straight because he had to have 2 4 and again, we have played together and he is usually way to tight to call a raise with that. I figured him at that point for two pair.
I would love to hear how I should have played this hand. Any input welcome.
