$1/$2 NLHE - Greektown Casino - 09.05.10
One or two players limp in. A Mid player goes All-In for $12. I'm the next player, I decide to raise to $35 in order to isolate with my 7d 7s. The next player thinks for a bit, and calls. He's a 50's guy, and seems to be a bit of a Super Nit. Everyone else folds.
Flop: 8d 6d 4c. This is a good Flop for me. There are no Big cards, and I have a gutshot. I bet $60, assuming that he'll fold his AK. But he thinks for a bit, and calls.
Turn: [8d 6d 4c] 3d. The Flush got there, but I can't put him on the Draw with him hesitating on calling the Flop bet. I decide to keep firing, just in case he's got a bigger pair than me, and will hopefully hate the Flush. I grab a stack of Red, and make it $100. He thinks for a bit, and starts mumbling something while making the call.
River [8d 6d 4c 3d]5d. I hate this card. We both check, and he shows Kh Kc. The All-In guy (remember him) shows Kd Jc, and wins the Main Pot (around $40). I win the much larger Side Pot with a 7-high Flush.
This hand is a great example of why Weak & Passive poker doesn't win. If the KK raised at any point in the Hand, then I probably would have folded. But the Super Nit would rather "play it safe" by just calling, and let me beat him.
