The proverbial smoking gun... |
I look down at AsQd from the CO and open for a standard $1.50. I get called by the SB.
$3.50 in the middle, flop is 5s7h3s. He's got a wide range, but this kind of flop mostly misses any strength save for the obvious sets. However, I want to charge for any draws he may have. I cbet for $2.50 and he calls. No timing tells or anything; he pauses and check raises me for essentially a min raise: $6.75. With a backdoor flush draw and 2 overs, I call.
$17 in a growing pot, we see our bingo Ad. Our opponent continues his aggression, though betting a bit on the small side after his flop c/r: $8.50. I think I call here - I don't see what raising accomplishes; I keep in all his bluffs and open myself up to be jammed on (which I probably have to fold).
River is a 2rd A: Ah. $34 in the middle. Final board 5s7h3sAdAh. I hold trips. He open jams $63.45 into the $34 pot. WTF? Let's play this back: 64 is possible, XsXs - (As6s, As4s are not possible since I hold the As), set of 5's, 7's or 3's. Does a naked straight draw play it this way (i.e. 6sX)? This is so far out of the realm of the player base - I have yet to see this kind of action and pressure from this pool.
What do you do here?
I folded - given the action, there's simply too many hands that beat me that act like this the whole way through. His hands are so slanted towards value with the rivered boat...

I imagine he didn't show? What do you think -- he flopped a set, or maybe had A-3, A-5 or A-7?
