Gents,
Any sanity to this hand? I watched it unfold at a B&M 10-20 game. The winner was a local pro who walked away from the game about a grand up after only 90 or so minutes, and I'm trying to see if it was well played or just super aggression paying off at the right moment. The blinds folded on the flop, so the main contest is between the two hands below who limped preflop:
Four Limplers
Victim (MP): A9o
Pro: (button): Qh10h
Flop: A-9-3 w/one heart
Both blinds check, Victim bets out, Pro raises, Blinds Fold, Victim 3 bets, Pro calls.
Turn: 6h
Victim bets, Pro raises, Victim 3 bets, Pro calls.
River: 7h
Victim bets, Pro raises, Victim calls....
The rationale I saw, is that the pro raised to knock the blinds out and called one more SB after Aces Up reraised. The pro raise on 4th ST appeared like he was representing a set while in reality raising on the flush draw (doubt the pro continues if a heart doesn't fall on 4th ST) Aces up wasn't going anywhere and 3 bets with the best hand. When the magical second runner falls on the river, Victim gives credit to the set by only calling and is dismayed to see he loses yet another pot to runner runner.
My final analysis...very aggressive way to play the hand that will cost a boatload of $$$ if played the same way over a long period. Your thoughts?
