Message: [QUOTE="Vegas Cat, post: 477543, member: 15683"] [COLOR=Red]How would you bet A,K on the button with 6 limpers in front of you in a $1/2NL holdem 10 person table game?[/COLOR] Today I played at a very loose semi- aggressive $1/2NL Holdem live casino table. Many of the players are calling with any two suited cards, whether connected or not, and many go in with a face card and pathetic kicker. I'm on the button and I get dealt A,Ksuited. 6 people limp in with $2. I raise to $15. Usually that will get most of them out but they all call my preflop raise. So now there is $90 in the pot. Flop comes rainbow 9,6,3 Everyone checks around to me. So far I noticed while playing here that no one ever check raises, so I read that nobody paired up since no one bet. I noticed that if someone paired up, they'd at least bet $10, especially with so many in the pot. I also figure that if they all called my $15, maybe there were alot of face cards dealt?? Not wanting any of the other 6 players to stay in this $90 pot and hit something on the turn or river, and with everyone being so passive, I decided to BET BIG. I also figured if I didn't bet big enough, someone would call me since the pot was so big. So I boldy bet $100 with a moment pause when my turn comes up. The blinds fold, and an EP caller thinks about it for a long minute...he's got $86 left, he decides to go All-In and call me and I think "oh man, he hit a pair, or he has a pair, or pretty much he's gotta have something over my A,K" The last 3 callers fold and its heads-up between him and I. Turn comes a 5 River comes a 7 No flushes but yes 2 straights... I pretty much figure I lost $115. With 2 different straights on the board, all he needs is an 8 or a 4 or has paired up anything...and with what all these guys were playing with, I wasn't going to be surprised if that is what he had called me with. They all look to me to flip since he called my bet. I flip over my A,K......I wait for him to flip and see his shoulders visibly slump as he chucks his cards in face down. Everyone gasps, I win with Ace high???? What did he have? Why would he go All-In and call my $100 bet? So that was a nice $170 pot for me.....Moments later he rebought in at another $100 and went all in 10 minutes later and lost again....and again didn't show his cards. Do you think my $100 bet was too much? What would you have done? Cheers, Vegas Cat [/QUOTE]
