Foxwoods $50-100, $10 ante, $25 force-bet.
I am dealt rolled up nines.
The bring in (an aggressive woman who recently joined the table) is immediately to my right with the 4d and brings it in for the full $50. I call. It is folded around to the player immediately to the right of the bring-in, one of the most aggressive players in the room, who raises to $100 with the 8c showing. The boards of the 3 players in the pot at this point are:
1. (x-x)-8c
2. (x-x)-4d
3. (9-9)-9c ME
The 4d calls.
I raise to $150.
8c caps it at $200. 4d calls, I call.
At this point I put opponent #1 on either split 8s with a facecard kicker or a high pocket pair. Opponent #2 I put on a pair of 4's or a medium pocket pair–if she was rolled up, she would not have brought it in for $50, and if she had a big pair, she definitely would have raised when the action came back to her. I don’t think either player would have acted as they did with a 3-flush or 3-straight, though I considered that an outside possibility for opponent #2.

4th street:
1. (x-x-) 8c-Jc
2. (x-x)-4d-6s
3. (9-9)-9c-7h
8c bet $50, 4d called, I raised to $100, 8c re-raised to $150, 4d called, I capped it at $200, call, call.
At this point, I knew I was in the lead unless Player 1 had pocket jacks. I thought his most likely holding was jacks-up, or possibly pocket aces or kings. Rolled up 8's entered into my thinking now as well. I knew that HE did not put me on rolled-up nines, and figured that he put me on pocket aces or kings, or two pair.
I put Player 2 on a pair of 4's with a high kicker.

On 5th street I caught a facecard (making me first to act) and everyone else caught a brick (I don’t remember the exact cards, but they did not appear to improve anyone’s hand). I bet $100, 8c raised to $200, 4d called, I re-raised to $300, 8c called, 4d called.
On 6th street everyone again caught bricks, I bet, 8c raised to $200, 4d called all-in for $150,I called. There was $100 in the sidepot. I now had to seriously consider whether player #1 had trips, given the strength he showed throughout the hand.
I did not fill up on the river and checked with the intention of calling if Player 1 bet. He checked, and my rolled-up nines were good; both of my opponents had made two-pair on 4th street, and neither improved. So it looks like I missed a bet on the river, as he surely would have called.
After the hand, the woman with the 4d scolded the man with the 8c for making all of those raises. She said that he cost the two of them a lot of money. She said she was “stuck in the middle” with two pair on 4th street and couldn’t go anywhere.
