Hi Guys,
Played on Thursday night, bubble burst at 11th and currently down to 13, sitting mid stack on the button and get dealt,
Raised pre flop UTG, by someone i play with alot, he was short, had to double up was all in (but 500 with blinds at 1000/2000 and obviously had rags) on the blind next hand so i know he is very loose with this, then the player to my immediate right calls, I re raise to 4,500 and folded round there other caller calls (he is super tight, only seen him play 4 pots, all night and has won at showdown with massive pockets, A's, K's or A.K thats it so im now a bit scared! Play cash with him and is super tight, with play mid to high pockets to see if he hits a set or plays the big ones and hopes for even more improvement! I have been playing very loose all night andf even on button, if stealing and bb re raises, im calling just to show strength and i cant be pushed about, VERY unusual for me!
Flop
(at this point, I put him on Kings or a set of A's or J's nothing more, so put myself behind) dont put him on a straight, cos he is that tight I dont even see him playing K, Q.... He checks, I check
Turn Comes
(im now baffled, to see if he is holding a A and losened up for the bubble, which ive never seen him do and play withi him at least 3 times a week for 2 years)
He checks, Im now lost, dont know where I am so through in 7,500 leaving me 22k behind he then sits, dwindles and smooth calls me!
River
Now that brings the flush draw, he bets out 12,000, I sit, think, look at him, even try and chat to him to get info, but sits back and ignores me totally!
At this point I fold and he shows Pocket 6's (apparently his birthday, 6th of 6th) and favourite hand, now as i see him as granite and dont want to donk of to put me in trouble, am i stupid to fold, putting myself in front, or am i giving someone way to much respect? and now do i fall into a trap and over play heads up against him next time!
Oh and in the end he knocked me out in 4th, when i run, pocket j's into pocket 8's and him sealing my fate with a 8 on the turn! Anyway what do people think of my play!
