10/20 B&M holdem game:
I raise UTG with AA, UTG2 3-bets (a SURE premium hand), MP1, MP2, and MP3 call (each could have KJ but not 66!!??), button calls, BB calls, and I call hehehe. 7 players take 3-bets before the flop which is rare for this game.
Flop is Q75-2flush. BB checks, I bet, UTG2 raises (but is not real happy about it), all three MPs call (nice pun, eh?), button and BB fold, and I call hehehe. 5 take the turn.
Turn is J. I bet, UTG2 raises (but really doesn't like it), the MPs all call and they don't like it either, and its up to me... after a 3 second eternity I make the "spectacular" 3-bet and they all call and UTG2 says to me "Aces, eh?".
River is a perfect 5 pairing the board and missing the flush. I bet, UTG2 calls and all 3 MPs call, the last after about 10 seconds.
Displaying a lot more confidence then I felt I turned over my Aces and put the $1 toke on them. After 10 seconds of mumblings and grumblings and a couple complimentary "Oooooo"s, everybody else folds.
Yes, I figured the MPs are unlikely to have made much with the flop and must have had a Q or a flush draw; but as it turns out they all must have had a Q. Goes to show you the dangers of jumping raises with trouble hands like that.
PS. The mistake I made was trying to narrow the field by betting into UTG2 twice since if I was right about UTG2 and the MPs, they were collectively drawing to maybe 3 cards altogether and could EASILY have been drawing to the single K left in the deck. Why would I want anybody to fold? Anyway, it worked out pretty well.
