I played this so...Well you decided..QQ from the button

[TheRake]

UTG is new to the table, so I have no read on him. Played this hand tricky though. Also something funky going on here with the convertor. BB disconnected I think. It's heads up.

Wow! If this guy calmed down a little bit he could be really dangerous.

Looks good to me.

There are about six different ways that disconnects get noted in the hand history. Apparently I missed one.

Can you PM me this hand?

If you're going to smooth-call the flop, why not check-raise the turn? You pulled one of those stop and go moves that I don't think ever maximize anything. The only thing he could possibly have here that beats you is AA or KK, and I don't think you gave him enough opportunity to raise to prove it.

Though it's pretty much 50/50 here. He's either got AA, KK, JJ, or TT (don't think he caps pre-flop with 99). Half you win, half you lose. Maybe AK if he came to your table to give you money.

So Rake should checkraise UTG to get even with UTG for checkraising Rake!? Nice plan if you can pull it off /images/graemlins/laugh.gif.

Reread the original hand.
