Me OTB 5 limpers into the pot not counting blinds. I look down and see A9s. I call, sb and bb call.
7 way action.

checks all the way to me. I figure I'll take the pot now and be done with it. I bet $25. Two callers join me.
One of the guys called my $20 with K4o earlier and snapped me for over $100. The other is solid and I haven't heard a peep from him. I'm worried about my kicker. It looks like I'm beat here.

9c
kicker issue is resolved!
I flip a purty black one in the middle. The snapper hems and haws and finally calls the bet. Solid guy mucks.

Snapper checks and I grab as many chips as he has left in front of him. Then I pause. I don't know if he'll call here. Surely he must think he can beat my hand, and I wasn't betting like I was on a flush draw. If he has spades why isn't he betting?
I pull off $30 bucks and make the stinkiest of value bets. I'm telegraphing so much strength here that the slot players are quitting, cause they just realized they're beat.
He re-raises all in. I call and he rolls over K4s
Talk about an automatic hand.
