I had a huge hand last night in 100NL-6max that I wanted to share, and started thinking about on a larger scale.
I had just sat down two orbits before and gone on a mini-rush of cards, getting a hold of AA, JJ, TT, and AK. I never had to show down any of them, and had built my stack up to 140.
The player directly across from me had about 300 in front of him and was raising a good deal, even for a 6 handed game.
This particular hand, i had Kc Qc in the BB and after an EP limp, Big stack raised to 3. The button called, I called, and EP called.
The flop came out Kd Tc 5c. I had top pair with the 2nd nut flush draw, and I bet the pot (12). The big stack called.
The turn was the 2c, giving me the flush. I wanted to look like I was making a bluff at a scare card, so I bet 50 into the 36 dollar pot. The big stack pushed all in.
I have 75 dollars left. I’m probably going to call here, but what range do you put the villain on?
Based on the title of your post, I think the villian may have been trying to scare you! But, otherwise, he either has a set or he has the Ace high flush — but you get a straight flush on the river!
He’s trying to represent the made nut flush or a set trying to push off the flush draws. More likely, he’s on a draw with AKo with the Ace of clubs and TPTK.
My guesses are AK w/A clubs, TT, or KJ w/J clubs…although I guess he could possibly have the nuts with something like AcJc. More than likely, though, he had something crazy and doubled you up…..
It’s concievable that he has QQ or KQ, but my gut tells me AK. You wanted to make him think you were bluffing at the scare card, so if he’s been playing aggressively and punishing people with his big stack, he may try to re-bluff you with TPTK and no club. He may also not like that he’s been able to raise aggressively, and now you’re here so he’s going to play sheriff to recapture the table captainship.
Of course, you call, and if he’s got the Ac, “that’s poker.”
Or does this end with him having K5 he makes a boat to beat your flush? Because if this is a long way of getting at a bad beat story, I’m going to cockpunch you.
I’ll say a lower club flush, TT or 55.
Almost certainly J9c. Do you see why?
