DOUBLE QUICK

I sit down at $25 buy in Pot Limit Holdem

My first hand is KK

I raise the bet to $1. Two callers, and then the next guy raises it to $4. I come back at $7. He comes back at $10. I go all in. He calls.

The flop is 9AK all diamonds
Turn is 7offsuit
The River is another 9

I win $52 ($25 which belonged to me) with my full house against a guy who played AK suited. He must have been cheering when he flopped both pairs.

I have to think his preflop play was super foolish. AK is a promise, but hardly a hand. Did he think I was bluffing. In his spot, I would have put the guy on a decent pocket pair and called the $7. In that situation he would have gone all in eventually anyway after his two pair flopped, but he could have hit blanks and got out easy the other way.
