OK - here was the situation:
9+1 Party Poker Million Qualifier. Down to about 1/3 the players. Stakes are at $150/$300. I have ~$3,400 in chips, which is above average, but at these stakes I really need to bank a bunch more or forget about winning.
I'm UTG+1 and get dealt AA. UTG folds and I open for a raise. MP2 calls, Button calls, BB calls - ok not exactly what I wanted, but fine. The flop is all rags. BB checks, I come out betting and all call save the button who folds. The turn is yet another rag and this time the BB comes out for a bet, which happens to amount to about 1/3 his remaining stack.
Here is the question - what does this mean? Did he flop a set? Did he turn 2-pair? Or does he just have a hand like A8s which would give him TPTK and he is just throwing the rest of his chips in?
In the actual hand I raised, MP2 folded and BB called. The bottom card paired on the end and BB put his last $120 in the pot, which, knowing I was almost certainly beat, I called since the pot was at almost $5000 at that point. He won a big pot, showed his boat. Actual holding 85s!! He flopped bottom pair, 2-paired the turn and hit a boat on the end.
Did I play this all wrong???!!!
Note: I had no read on any player since I just recently was moved to this table.
