$1/$2 NL at Gaming Club
I limp UTG+2 with [Kh]. Im trying to mix it up a bit my limping. 3 more limpers and the BB plays.
The pot is $10. The flop comes [2h][9h]. Wow, nice flop. I make a weak lead of $4 hoping to get raised so I can reraise. Its folded to the button who raises to $20 and then its folded back to me. Uh oh. I smell a set here.
This player always sits at the $200 table with $30. Every time. But hes actually pretty good at playing his short stack. As a matter of fact, he is up to $140 when the hand started and I had just told him that I havent seen a guy play a short stack as well as him in quite a while. So we're having a conversation about this during the last round or so.
I know he would raise preflop with AK and AQ. That means he has either 99, 22 or AJ.
I smell 22 or 99 so I cant really reraise him now. I decided to call and try to hit the flush (or see what he does at the turn). I call.
The pot is now $50. The turn is the . Actually, he couldve had A9s or A2s I guess. if so , I just buried him. I check and he bets $24. Im getting 3-1 which I like since I could be ahead of 2 pair and the odds for the flush arent bad considering he still has $100 or so left. I call.
The pot is $98. The river is the . Yahtzee!!!. I check. He bets 420 and I check raise him all in. He calls and mucks his 99.
