Home game, BVB huge pot.
So my friends and I have a little home game, $.05/$.10 binds $20 buy-in. A couple of us play casinos regularly, but most of my friends just like playing really small. Game tends to be pretty loose, some are ultra aggressive and a few are ultra passive.
I'm in the SB with a regular casino player in the BB. He's pretty weak over-all and he loves to gun for me. I have KK, I raise to $.50 opening from SB, he reraises to $1.50 from the BB, he might be doing this with damn near anything, because he loves to play against me and try to "show me."
I reraised to $4.75 and he called. Effective stacks to start the hand were about $16 and I had him covered.
The flop is J T 9R. The pot is $9.5 and I bet $6.5. I don't love this flop as JJ, TT and 99 are in his range and so is a lot of junk that he'll have to fold and I won't get paid, but he's also got QQ, AJ, KJ and QJ. He may also have JT, yes he'd 3 bet me and call a big 4 bet with any of these hands.
I still don't feel like checking is a good option. He tanks for maybe 30 seconds and calls which leads me to believe he has the straight draw or maybe a tough top pair kind of hand like KJ. The river is a blank, like a 4 or 5 and I move him in. He insta-calls with 88.
I was having a pretty bad night, on my second buy-in. Seriously took no less than 3.5 hours before I took my first pot, had QQ lose to K4 stuff like that. This hand seems pretty standard to me, but I can't say for certain that I was being totally objective and making good poker deicisions I wanted y'all to have a look and see if you think I was just being stubborn getting it in with a really rather weak hand for this board, or is it kinda the standard spot I think it is?
