Im playing $1/$2 NL at Gaming Club.
I raise a limper to $8 with my TT. He calls
Pot is $20. The flop comes 522. he checks and I bet $15. He calls.
Pot is $50. The turn is a king. He checks. I decide to check and keep the pot small. I'll probably call a reasonable river bet because I dont think he has a king.
Pot still $50. BAM! The river is a ten. He goes all in for $130. Are you kidding me? The poker gods love me. I call.
Are you kidding me? The poker gods hate me. He turns over 22
The thing is..he didnt know what I had. He went all in and wouldve gotten nothing out of me if that ten hadnt hit. Going all in was very dumb on his part.
He is probably trying to bet like its a steal to get you to call. He could put you on AQ and took a stab at the pot on the flop since you then checked the turn.
