PREFLOP
I have a $2,500 stack and am UTG with AcKh so I raise to $25. The UTG+1 player, who plays very straight forward and is tight/aggressive, 3 bets to $85 with about $900 to start the hand. It folds around to me and I make the call.
FLOP ($177) Ks 6c 7c
I check, and UTG+1 checks behind.
TURN ($177) Ks 6c 7c 6s
I check again and this time UTG+1 bets $75. I check-raise to $175 and he makes the call.
RIVER ($527) Ks 6c 7c 6s 7d
I bet $150, and UTG+1 moves all-in for $480 more.
