$1/$2 NL Gaming Club

I raise a limper to $12 with AA from MP. The BB calls as does the EP limper.
EP ($50) BB ($280) Me ($225)

EP is horrible, BB is worse.

How bad is BB? Heres how he got his stack. He called a min raise along with 6 others.
He led $14 into a $30 pot. The flop was T82 with 2 hearts ( I dont have the ace of hearts). He got raised to $24 and he went all in for over $100. .......He had A4 and rivered an ace to win.

So back to the hand.

The pot is $38. The flop comes AK5. BB leads out for $20, EP calls. Are you kidding me? I raise to $50. BB calls and EP calls all in.

The pot is $175 . The turn is a 7. He checks. I have about $160 left. Do you push it all in? Or try to milk him for another $75 first?

I dont want this guy to fold, my guess is he has AQ or AJ, something he feels was good enough to call a raise with. Now you have both semi made your hands, I say semi- beause my guess is he lead into you trying to figure out if you strong and now that you raised he is confused your raise wasnt that big so he figures he can call it and see if you fire again. There is no real draw that he is playing it is hard to think that he could be playin QJ, Q/10 or J10 and if so and he is willing to call with a gut shot that he is a complete moron. I want this guy in this pot, I do one of two things, try a weak lead and see if you can get him to reraise you. This is a weaker play since he is less likely to raise with a player all in. So my player here is to bet $50-$75 and try to take his money. This really is a great feeling to have someone lead strong into you when you have a monster. After the flop I may have just called his bet since you have position on him for the next two rounds of betting.

I think I have to bet here because I think BB is holding 86 and has a nice draw now.

I think I have to throw out a bet there(range of $70-$80) where it looks like I am not confident about my hand. The way you described his play, I think he calls again because he got a small piece of the flop.

Yeah, thats what I thought as he folded to my all in. Cant imagine what he had though.

The other guy had a set of 5's
