question is, what was his stack?
i reckon, in a way, if he had anything other than a king, eg 99 like u said,
he would have led out on the flop
the pot was 3200 i'm assuming because he was big blind (or 3400 if he was small blind)
so if he had 99, he would have bet out about half the pot, ie 1500, to see where he stood.
if u went all in over the top of him, he'd know he's beat and fold
so a check does seem a bit strange.
but considering your chip stack, i'm not sure what else you could have done.
betting half the pot is out of the question i reckon because that's more than a third of your remaining stack...
checking behind is also out of the question because he'd bet out on the flop with whatever and will put you in a tougher position.
besides if he had a hand worse than urs the check woulda given him a chance to draw out on you.
on you part, going all in was the only move possible.
but considering his check i reckon it was likely he was way ahead |
