So I get to the Wynn and sit down in a $1/$3 NL Hold em game. There were no really large stacks at this table. Maybe 2 people over $500 when I sat down. I buy in for my normal $500 which is the max for the game. So I lose my first hand that I played to a guy with a pair of queens that he never raised with pre-flop. I had flopped a pair of jacks and bet them on the flop and turn. So that was the extend of the history anyone had on me in the game so far. I then changed seats and continued to play. After about 30 min I get Ad Qd UTG+1. I make a standard raise to $15 and get called in 3 spots. Now the flop comes Ks Qc 4d. At this point I am first and make a C-bet of $35. I get one caller. This guy is one of the larger stacks at the table. He reminds me of Sylvester Stallone. Kind of big and dumb looking. So I figure since he just called that I will take another shot at the pot on the turn provided noting that looks bad for me hits. The turn card is 8h. That card looks OK to me so I fire out a $70 bet. Now I'm pretty sure at this point that if he calls then he most likely has be beat with a K. He does make the call. Now at this point I decide I am down with the hand unless the river helps me. Sure enough the river is a Qs giving me 3 queens. Now I make a bet of $100. He immediately starts talking about how that was a horrible card for him. Then he makes the call. I turn over my AQ and he shows the AK.
Right away he starts saying that I sucked out on him. Saying how I had no idea that I was beaten in the hand till the river. I responded saying I out played him. Based on game theory he is making a mistake every time he plays his hand differently than he would if he could see my cards. Well he had 3 opportunities to raise me and take control of the hand or make me fold. He never 3 bet pre-flop. He never raised me off my hand on the flop or the turn. He let me control the hand the entire way. It's not like I was calling his bets and then caught the river. So I ask you do you think I sucked out or did I out play him in the hand?
