But Mooooom, I want to call!

$10-$20 kill game at Ceasars Indiana. I'm up about 2 racks in 2 hours and am currently hitting on the hot 65 year old next to me.

Always Limping Donkey (ALD)who enjoys the line: Limp/call preflop, check/call flop, check/fold turn -- is the villan

Anyway, he plays 40-50% of hands and raises maaaaybe 10% of the them. He also hates me from a previous session because I like to raise him very much.

He raises in MP, I call in the cut-off with 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] because calling is a key to winning

SB calls because he already has a chip in the pot.

Flop 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Check, ALD bets I raise, fold, ALD calls

Turn is 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Ald checks, I bet, ALD raises, I shoot him disappointing glance and call

River is 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. He bets very very quickly possibly without realising what the last card was. I think for approximately 15 seconds and he calls a clock on me.

Eh?

Also, how close is pre-flop?
