I made the preflop raise because it was a limp fest and I was tired of it. I wanted to see if I could get some of the limpers out of the hand & it worked IMO. its not something i do on a regular basis & i had a semi-tight image at the table - so when I did raise preflop it spooked a few players.
truth be told, when I bet out the $12 post flop I was expecting to take it down.
I've seen this player make big bets when drawing (she does semi bluff), so I couldnt pin point her on aces. I was hoping that she was on a flush draw, and I had already a set with the nut flush draw. I've seen her bet like that with top two pair as well. so she had a decent range of hands she could be on... But deep inside i suspected aces.
I think the answer i was looking for was that the pot odds were not there to make the flop re-raise...
Anyway, I call her raise.. she rolls over aces... So now I am drawing dead to the board pairing (busto boat draw), and hoping for diamonds... 4th street i missed, 5th street i missed... i cried silently
