Live game in Reno with 1-2 blinds. The pot ended up being just over $1,300.

Sorry, I don't remember the exact details of the hand but I will do my best.

Here's the final board:
8 /images/graemlins/spade.gif2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif2 /images/graemlins/club.gifJack /images/graemlins/heart.gif10 /images/graemlins/spade.gif

There were two players involved in this pot. The BB and middle player. Middle player raised preflop. BB reraised and middle player called. Pot approx $100.

The flop came. BB led out, middle player raised, and BB called.

Turn - BB checked and Middle player made pot sized bet and BB called.

River - BB checked and Middle player goes all in for last $350. At this point the pot had approx $950 and it's $350 for the BB to call.

So let's run down the best possible hands out on that board:

4 Twos, any full house, any flush.

The BB took at least 5 minutes to decide what to do until he called. I was asking myself what hand would I need to have to make this call. Assume both players are reasonably good players and this is by far the biggest pot of the night.

I'm putting one on Aces and the other on Kings. Therefore I call down with anything better than two pair.

I decided I would only call with the Ace High Flush or better.

They guy made the call with KK for 2 pair. (Really bad in my opinion). The winner had the King Jack of spades for the King high flush. I guess it's debatable if his all in on the end was a good idea. I don't think he wanted a call.
