i.e., I was playing a $1-$2 no limit money game at a local spot. I bumbled in with 2, 9 unsuited on the croupier button, so I could partake in a little excitement. Flop came down A-A-4. A player in starting spot placed a $15 bet. 2 players drop out and it was my turn to act. I should have folded, but something felt a tiny bit off. I read this individual as a weak-tight bettor, and usually if he had the strongest hand he would only check, so I called.
The turn arrived with a 7, making it A-A-4-7. My competitor laid a further wager of $20. I hesitated a little bit, but decided to re-raise an additional $30thirty dollars over and above his twenty dollars. He folds and I won the cash.
