Beat of the night

Last Friday/Saturday session, Tulalip $1/$2. MP limps, Button limps, SB limps, I look at 2 red kings and bump it to $16 to go.

MP calls. Others fold

FLOP: 789 rainbow

I lead with $25.

MP goes all in for $20 on top. (silly me I should've looked at his stack before betting; maybe I did and my brain is cloudy as this was at like 4am when I'd been playing for 10 hours).

I make a crying call (thinking I'm up against a possible JT, but I've seen people go all-in here with A9 or even 2 overs as, again, so many people (including me at times) are more apt to put their oppoents on AK than a big pair).

MP Turns over T6o for a flopped straight. T on the turn gives me some hope, but the river bricks out.

I guess the right play is to fold there, but I've seen enough people overcommit there with AJ or A9 that I felt I had to call.

3rd week in a row I've played against this guy, and I've never seen him walk out of the casino with chips. Sure, you'll hit a big score with T6o from time to time, but when short stacked? I dunno, maybe it was a good play...
