Probably a small one to many people who might stumble upon this, but a big hand for me. And it reverses the recent trend of losing quite often with AA, KK and AK.
Some background on this.
a) I'd taken a couple of sizeable pots off the player to my right earlier in the session. For one, on a 2TT flop, I was holding AT while he had T9. All the money got in on the river, and the board never brought a 9 or a pair outside of the 10s.
b) I had lost fairly big pots in this orbit, with AKo on an A-high rainbow board vs. a flopped set, and then on the very next hand with AKs where I folded on the turn when the guy to my right led out aggressively on the flop and turn.
There's no interesting decisions to this hand, really, other than deciding on the correct amount to raise. But I think the background facts here helped this hand play out the way it did.
Oh, BTW, I have absolutely no fucking clue what the SB thought he was doing.
