MP is to my right, hes the guy who was almost soft colluding last time, best player from their friend group. Older and can be snappy but nice enough and plays well, Ive caught him bluffing but Ive also seen him value bet. Last time he called out my position raise correctly and has 3bet me light before.
.50/.50 hold em, 6 handed, last 4 hands of the night.
UTG and MP both call the .50
Hero raises to $2 with QdQc
Folds back to UTG, calls
MP raises to $6
Hes done this before to this size, I fold my ATs last time and he smiled about it, but oh well.
I 4bet to $20. This isn't too insane of a raise, it got attention but we'd been playing decent pots. He was effective stack, somewhere around $60ish.
UTG and MP both call.
Pot $60.
Flop 9 T J
Overpair and open ender, I was planning on shoving any non-Ace flop but got devious. Bet $13 to try and keep both in. MP is 3betting light and UTG is a calling station. If they shove I snap call. They both call BUT
MP says call, and while assembling chips, says All-In. I usually let things slide in this game, but this was a big pot. Other players had heard him say all-in and argued but he fessed up and said I was right. Not sure if he was pulling a fast one but sneaky. Saw him big gulp after this bullshit.
Turn 9 T J A
Yup, that sucks. He shoves for $19 out of turn and UTG folds, this is the game we play in. I now lose to TT, JJ, 99, KK, KQ, AK, AA, KK, AJ, AQ, AXs, etc, ugh. BUT its a cheap price, Im still open ended and hes a player that is capable. I know this should be easy looking back but I had lost some big hands and I was considering just keeping the $20 to fight another day.
Nope! Call after a minute, he chucks his 66s face up onto the table, river Jack holds, I scoop a big pot a few hands before closing. Amazing feeling.
