A Hand in the Insane Asylum

[Haupt_234]

This was my third or fourth hand at the table. The previous three had been capped preflop between 3 or more players, whom appeared to be overly aggressive. The two villans in the following hand happened to be in many of those capped pots.

Final Pot: 14.75 BB
<font color="#990066">Main Pot: 13.75 BB, won by UTG+2.</font>
<font color="#990066">Pot 2: 1 BB, overbet by UTG+2.</font>

Results in white below: <font color="white">
UTG+2 doesn't show.
Outcome: UTG+2 wins 14.75 BB. </font>

Does anyone not lay it down here? My cold call of the 2 bets on the flop was poor indeed, but I was hoping for a call out of the UTG+1 so I could call the maniac down...

I would have 3 bet the flop. You say they're overly aggressive, they don't need to have a jack here.

[Joe Tall]

You should be 3-betting the flop here. This is where you were got lost in this hand.

Putting him on a Jack is weak. Mostlikely a weaker Ace.

Peace,

Maybe this explains why I'm not a rich millionaire poker player, but I 3 bet the flop.

I hadn't read the posts of the esteemed JoeTall and Tosh before I replied, but now that I have I feel all warm inside. /images/graemlins/grin.gif Maybe I'm not insane after all.
