Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.5 BB (6 max, 6 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

SB ($51.35)
Hero ($131.05)
UTG ($27.7)
MP ($140.45)
CO ($41.95)
Button ($12.4)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 2/images/graemlins/club.gif, 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls $0.50, CO calls $0.50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: ($2) 3/images/graemlins/club.gif, 2/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $2</font>, MP calls $2, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to $4</font>, SB folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $15</font>, MP calls $13, CO calls $11.
Obviously I didn't expect 2 callers here. I'm pretty sure MP has an ace, but the call by the CO strikes me as an odd play. In my mind, if he has a bigger hand than mine he should probably just go ahead and move in. The smooth call scares me a bit.

Turn: ($47) 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $20</font>, MP calls $20, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to $26.45 (All-In)</font>, Hero calls $6.45, MP calls $6.45.
whatever the CO has, I'm pretty sure that the turn didn't help him. The call by MP is right in line with what I'd expect. The all in from the CO has me concerned that he has a bigger 2 pair (something like A2s or A3s), but I'm committed to call his last $6.45.

River: ($126.35) J/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 1 all-in)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP bets $10</font>, Hero calls $10.
I still feel like MP has just a pair of Aces, but him being the only player that has me covered scares me in to a check call. This a $50 max buy in table, and I'd rather not bust out on a damn 32o after working my stack up to over $130.


Final Pot: $146.35
<font color="#009B00">Main Pot: $126.35, between Hero, MP and CO.</font> &gt; <font color="#FFFFFF">Pot won by Hero ($126.35).</font>
<font color="#009B00">Pot 2: $20, between Hero and MP.</font> &gt; <font color="#FFFFFF">Pot won by Hero ($20).</font>

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has 2c 3s (two pair, threes and twos).
MP has 5d As (one pair, aces).
CO has Ac 6h (one pair, aces).
Outcome: Hero wins $146.35. </font>

anything I should have done differently? Suggestions? Comments?
Thanks,
Noodle

i like it.

alot of other posts with flopped bottom two pair getting raised on the flop and money behind have sorta led to the idea the optimal line is to just call the flop raise (on a board like this) and c/r all in barring top pair pairing.

generally that line allows you to get more out of top pair ish hands which will fold to the flop 3bet.

however, as you were playing with morons, it didn't matter, just food for thought.

No doubt, this is a scary-ass hand. Somebody could have limped in with AA. Anyway, very nice hand. I like your play on every street.

It never ceases to amaze me that so many people will go broke with such shitty aces. I was just lucky enough to have 2 of them in the hand with me.
