$2/$5 NLHE 

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.
