I was up $1700 this month playing .25/.50 NL on Pacific. I decided to go to my local card room where there was a $5/$5 full table NL game. After scoping out the table play, I realized it was a very soft table with lots of limping in and checking down.

I sat with $200. This came up in the first hand.

I was dealt Ks-10s in late position. I limped in with about 5-6 players in the pot, so the pot is about $30 preflop.

The flop comes K-10-6 rainbow.

It checks around to me and with only the button to act behind me, I bet out $25. It folds around to the last guy who just calls the bet.

Note: While scoping out the table, I had seen this same guy call off about $150 of his stack with A-J on a Q-K-3 flop trying to hit a gutshot and then revealing his hand in frustration of not hitting after his opponent's big river bet.

The turn comes 8 and now the board is completely rainbow. He checks again and I bet $55 into an $80 pot. He calls.

The river is a 7 for a board of K-10-6-8-7 and he immediately slams a stack of $100 in front of him. I look down at my final $115 and go into the tank. Did this guy call me down with a gutshot? Maybe Q-J trying to push me around. The only legitimate hand I could imagine was K-9, maybe.

The pot is $290 with his bet and I am putting $100 in to win an almost $400 pot.

Having a pretty good read that he wanted a call here, I thought for about a minute and decided to muck and fight my way back. What do you think?
