Decided to to play....

My son and I decided at the last minute, to go to the poker club that we belong to, and see what kind of action there was...

We got there JUST as a small game ( 19 players ) was getting underway, so we decided to join in. It was a re-buy tournament style, with unlimited re-buys thru the first three rounds... Had to re-buy once, cuz I got short stacked playing looser than normal...

Played a GREAT hand late in the first round after the re-buys were over! Had pocket K's.... only led out a bet of double the blinds to try to get some action... board flopped J rag, rag.... guy in first position bet out strong, trying to represent something... he'd been playing VERY loose all night, and making large bets to steal pots for hours. I was not letting him go, but I just checked! ;-)
Turn and river flopped rags both times... he led out big on the turn.... which I called.... he put me all in at the river... I called... I read him right.... he had shit, and I doubled up and took the chip lead! ;-)

I played pretty tight with my big stack for the next hour or so, until we consolidated to one table... son made that table also, but was pretty short stacked, whereas I had a marginal chip lead over the table....

Cards were absolute crap at this table, and I got ZIP, as I watched my chip lead dissappear via the blinds and ante's....

Down to 4 players, and I'm still in good shape... second in chip count... got dealt JJ in the big blind! Small blind came in at 3K ( 3times the blind ).... put him on a couple over cards, probably one an ace... he's traditionally a very loose player, and aggressive as hell.... I called.

Flop was 776 rainbow.... he bet out 5K ( blinds are 1k now ).... after thinking for a few, I called....

turn came 6..... he bet another 5K..... I called...

River came rag.... he called me all in.... FUCK... I had to call! I knew he did not have a set.... which he didn't!!

Unfortunately he had Pocked Aces... and took me out....

Would you have laid em down at the all in call??
