River: ($0) K/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>
Final Pot: $8.34
Villain's raise unnerved me a bit: Over 30 hands, the only aggression I noticed from him aside from preflop raising with Premium Hands were paltry bets (2BB-4BB) on the flop and turn to take down pots that have been checked through. He seemed to be incapable of launching huge or daring bluff raises.
Still, I didn't want to just call here and continue playing the hand OOP, so I decided on shoving to put him to the test and try to take the pot down right there. Afterwards, I felt rather dumb about this play as it betrayed the pot size philosopy... i lost control of the pot size and it resulted in me creating a huge pot while I'm holding a merely marginal hand.
Thoughts, anyone? What would u guys have done, folded outright or call and then c/f on the turn? or merely reraise instead of going AI?
