Ok I Admit It

[billy the punter]

I got lucky. Started playing in a live private game again. Plan to play once a week for the time being as it's a really soft game. The blinds are £2/£5 (pot-limit) and I sat with £300. 2nd hand. UTG calls, seat 2 calls, seat 3 (rock) raises the pot (£27 to play), button calls, I have AcKc in the BB. I could reraise to get his heads up but I'm scared of the original raiser - taking him on heads up, and getting it all-in preflop would leave me needing to hit, 100% fact. So I flat call, as UTG and seat 2. Flop comes 9JA. I check for info, all check to the raiser who bets £80 into the £140 app that's in the pot. Folded to me and I make it £200, (£120 raise), back to the raiser who moves in. :eek I only have £60 odd left so cannot pass (pot over £600), my only hope is that he also has AK - there is no way I'm winning. He flips over trip 9s. :\ Turn A River K :nana I'm such a mushroom. I played this cautiosly but still ended up getting my money in when tailed off. It turns out had I reraised preflop I would've won it uncontested preflop. Others may disagree but I do prefer to play AKs cautiosly in pot-limit games when out of position, even in multi-way pots.
