This ones hot off the presses so I havn't even looked back to see how horribly I played this yet. The only qualifier worthy of mentioning is every one involved in this hand other than yours truly is LAG or calling station. I'm just gonna post the results on this one, truly madness...

It's guaranteed that someone has a straight. You need to release at some point.

Thank you sir may I have another!

Obviously I agree, at what point and why do you muck? I think its OK in this case to retain the inferences about the players involved that can be made from the results. This is definately a very very unusual scenario here and I have to admit I'm still at a bit of a loss.

For some extra fun... what did MP2 have?

Well I wouldn't cap the flop for one. Everyone is going to call down this hand and you do not have the best drawing hand.

Since everyone is going to call down, I don't see any point in your bet on the turn. You know at the turn you probably won't have the best hand by the river. The best you can hope for is trip Aces.

I think the turn calls aren't terrible but don't put any money in on the river.

That's the only thing I'm really sure of though. You can't put any money in on the river.

I like the limp cap by UTG with 52s. Must have that new pattern map /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Hope you took alot of notes on 'em on that one.

Yep, that play is going to fuel conspiracy theorists everywhere.

I think you played this fine up until the river, and even on the river I'm not positive you played it wrong. I like the flop cap and the turn bet if this line up is as loose and wild as you say they are. (If any of them were reasonable players we would have to think about doing things differently, perhaps.)

On the river, you're going to get over 15:1 if you call, even if its capped? You might not be good even that often, but I might be willing to part with 4 bets simply for the peace of mind.

If I folded to that river bet and saw AQ take this down, I would be on my way to the store for a bottle of whiskey and some sleeping pills.

Thank you cold, a bit morbid but it does me good to know someone else would have a hard time getting away from this as well.

For what its worth, I quickly recouped my losses at this table after someone apparntly went nuts and just started doing nothing but raising with every hand on every street. Those Friday nights on PP can get wild, I dig it.
