This hand happened a few days ago and i've just been thinking whether it was just a maniacal play or the thoughts were right.

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $1 BB (6 handed) Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

CO ($105.55)
Button ($114.10)
Hero ($97.80)
BB ($51.50)
UTG ($114.60)
MP ($102)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 5

, 4

.
2 folds, CO raises to $3.5, 1 fold, Hero calls $3, BB calls $2.50.

Flop: ($10.50) 3

, 2

, 9

(3 players)
Hero bets $6, BB folds, CO raises to $21, Hero raises to $100.3 (All-In), CO calls $73.30.

CO is a tight player, only going to showdowns 2% of times and only raising 1 in 6 pre flop. I felt this gave me some fold equity even if he had a big flush draw he couldn't call as the odds weren't good enough. But also my imagine was also quite tight - i don't often go AI unless i have the goods so i used all these thoughts to make a play.

I figured he could only call with a set or maybe big pair and even if he does call i have a lot of outs.

Turn: ($199.10) 2

(2 players, 1 all-in)

River: ($199.10) K

(2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: $205.10

Hero has 5d 4d (one pair, twos).
CO has 8d Ad (one pair, twos).
Outcome: CO wins $205.10.

He used his entire timebank before calling with 1second to go, which i think highlights that he made a bad call. He obviously put me on a big hand or he'd have snap called.

I really wouldn't make the play against any player, this guy is very tight for short-handed but was it a bit OTT, did i misjudge my thoughts that his calling range is very small?
