I’m in a live $210 buy in event at my local casino. My stack is about $80K and blinds are $1500 and $3000 with a $300 chip ante.
Seat 1 limps from EP for $3000 with a $160K stack. Seat 4 calls $3000 with an $11K stack; everyone folds to me on the button, Seat 8. I’m dealt
I’m leery of raising here, even though I would often, but the $11K stack messes everything up. So I flat the $3000 from the button.
Pot - $13800
Flop -
Seat 1 leads out for $8.5K and seat 4 moves all-in for what turned out to be exactly $8900.
Seat 1 is an aggressive NIT (I don’t know how else to describe him) if there is such a thing. I know he got a piece of that flop, but I also think he will fold it. The pot is now $31200 and I have to call $8900 to continue; getting 3.5:1 on the nut flush draw and an Ace; nearly 2:1 to improve to a pair of aces at minimum. So I Raise to $19K.
Seat 1 quickly folds after showing his hand to the dealer; he said later he had a King.
Seat 4 shows
I received no help on the next two streets and more than tripled the short stack. Then I got an ass-chewing from Seat 1 about how he could’ve have taken a player out if I weren’t such a jackass.
So I know I was getting the right price and really like how I played the entire hand. I could have raised pre-flop and I also could’ve folded the flop. The only real problem I have here is that this was an unraised pot; maybe I should have raised or folded from the button. I don’t know, I think this was one of the better hands I have ever played, but Seat 1 disagrees, adamantly, so I just thought I’d post it and see what everyone thinks.
