Preflop: Hero is Button with [As], [Ah]. SB posts a blind of $0.1.
UTG calls $0.25, 5 folds, UTG calls $0.75.
This is a standard raise for me. Here it achieves my goal: Isolating an opponent.
Flop: ($2.35) [Ks], [Th], [4d] (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $1, UTG calls $1.
Hoping to induce a bluff later in the hand.
Turn: ($4.35) [5s] (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero checks.
This was a HUGE mistake. I got greedy and was fairly certain he'd bet on the river if I checked behind him.
River: ($4.35) [9d] (3 players)
UTG bets $4, Hero calls $8.65.
I was right, he bet. I raised. He reraised. That worried me, but I wasn't gonna punk out.
Final Pot: $27
If you can't figure out what he had, go ahead and ask.
