1/2 NL at River Rock.
When this hand happened, I'd been playing for around 2.5 hours and I'd been paid off every time I hit. I'd been playing straight forward, betting and raising when I had a hand.
UTG was pretty aggressive and he won his chips by betting his decent hands. He also won quite a few pots without show down. LP seemed tight-ish, the type to not go in without at least TP and huge draws.
UTG ~$550
LP ~$150
I am UTG+1. I cover UTG and get dealt 77 (red cards).
UTG raises to $15 and when I call, he says out loud "oh no". I smile at him and say, "yeah you're dead" and he says, "You win every pot you play." 2 others (including the guy in LP) call and the pot is ~$65.
Flop comes T7x with two spades. UTG bets $60 and it's pretty obvious he has either KK or AA because that's a bet screaming, "please don't draw out on me!" Given this, is it better for me to raise or call?
Last night my gut said that it was better to call because I'd raised with my monsters all night so far and this gives him a chance to go crazy on a non-spade turn. But thinking about it again, would it be better to just raise and give him the chance to get it in on the flop since it's obvious he just wants to price us out?
I hit like a champ and got paid off for everything last night. People were just handing me their chips and I always had it.
~3 hours, +$1711 playing cash. Totals: +$629 cash, -$585 donkaments.
