this hand came up in a family home game a few weekends ago. we were playing 2-5 limit hold em (just for play money). my 9 year old daughter was on the button and my mom is in the cutoff.
we're 7 handed a couple limpers, cutoff limps, button raises, one blind calls. 5 handed.
the flop is 972. checked to c/o who bets, the button raises, all else fold, c/o calls.
the turn is 5. c/o bets, button raises. c/o thinks and calls saying "why do you keep raising? youre gonna lose all your chips."
river is a 9. c/o bets, button giggles and says "raise!" as confident as ever. c/o calls. c/o shows T7o, button shows KK. her 8 year old brother says "nice hand lily". her dad cant stop laughing.
2nd best hand of the night: my aunt who has never played hold em before raised my brother on the flop w/ position w/ a flush draw and took a free card on the turn purely on instinct, knowing it was the best play.
