I had about 17k chips with blinds at 100/200, under the gun had about 2k less chips.
I was BB, 810 spades
Under the gun calls BB and I check.
Flop comes: 6h 7c 9d
I bet 3x BB, he calls.
Turn comes 9s. I bet 3xBB and he re-raised to 9BB.
I stopped and looked at the board, I had believed he had hit solidly on the flop, but there was no way Id give him credit for 2 pair... a smooth call with 2 pair on the flop, sure, but a big re-raise once he hit the full house?
At this point I pushed back in over top of him and he calls. I have him beat with a straight vs his A9 , trips with ace kicker.
River pairs the board with a 7 and he doubles up to become chip leader.
I read him right and feel I played it right, when looking at it just as a single hand, but when I consider the fact I was like 10th/80th and suddenly all but dropped out of the tournament, it makes me wonder if I could have played this a little differently.
With ace kicker and the trips, and knowing he was aggressive with any good hand, I could have played it slower, and seen the river before i committed myself... of course that sounds like scared poker to me and i do not like to even think about playing that way, but in isolated situations it could have worked. dunno.
