I sat in a MGM Grand 1-2 no-limit game for a couple hours today and was briefly involved in this hand. My opponents' plays are so incomprehensible to me that this hand may be better off as a story rather than strategic fodder.
The MGM Grand 1-2 game has a maximum $200 buy-in.
I'm UTG with J/images/graemlins/heart.gifJ/images/graemlins/club.gif and limp for $2 (I've got a ~$400 stack). A loose-clueless player on my immediate left limps as well (she's got a ~$175 stack). It's folded all the way around to the Small Blind. He has a ~$135 stack and raises to a total of $50. That's a $48 raise into a pot that has $8 in it.
The Big Blind folds and I'm left trying to fathom why anybody would raise so much pre-flop. I surrended my cards and $2 and waited for another hand.
The loose-clueless woman called the additonal $48. Two players saw the flop with $104 in the pot.
The flop is: K/images/graemlins/diamond.gifJ/images/graemlins/spade.gif9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif
The Small Blind moved all in for about another $85. The l-c called.
Small Blind flipped over K/images/graemlins/spade.gifK/images/graemlins/club.gif. The l-c showed A/images/graemlins/club.gif7/images/graemlins/heart.gif
A Queen came on the turn to give the l-c hope. But, the river was a blank.
