$25 NL, $0.25/$0.50 blinds. This is a very friendly game, but we are all semi-serious players. 6 handed.

I'm otb with QT spades. my little brother (very aggressive) is sb, Ken (very tight) is BB. Clayton (UTG) makes it $1.50 to go, Darrin (2 UTG) calls, Barry folds, I call, SB and BB call, $7.50 in pot.

Flop is 469 with 2 spades. SB goes allin for $10.00 right away (no surprise, he always tries to steal big pots), BB hesitates and calls, to my surprise (he MUST have a monster, trips, 2-pair, str8/flush draw). Original raiser folds, 2UTG thinks FOREVER, then folds. It gets to me. I have 2 overcards and a flush draw, and about $15 left in front of me.

I'm probably beat by Ken for sure, but I'm pretty sure sb is on a baby flush draw, or some kind of sucker hand like top pair, maybe even a straight draw. There's $27.50 in the pot, and if I push, there would be $47.50 after ken's call. For another $15 in a fun home game, I figure what the hell, so I push. Obviously Ken calls.







Woops. Big mistake. Turns out Ken had AK spades. This surprised me because he didn't reraise preflop. SB had 78 for the straight draw. 2UTG folded 46 hearts (2-pair, which would have filled his boat on the turn). Turn is another 4, river is J clubs. Ken takes the whole pot with A high.

Was this a terrible call? I think I should have just folded on the flop. I knew Ken had a huge hand, but I thought he had 2 pair or something because he just called the raise preflop.
