Part I: Two Good Players ... What Are Their Hands?

It's a 3/6 game. Two good players, sitting side by side, both stuck about $90, starving for pots.


In this hand, player A is in the big blind, player B is UTG. Player A is a bit looser pre-flop, although he may be slightly better at post-flop play than B.


Player B limps UTG, and a couple of players limp after him. A middle position player raises, and there are a few cold-callers. BB calls, as does the rest of the players yet to act. There are 6 players and 12 sb in the pot.


The flop comes 8 7 3 with two hearts. Player A bets. Player B calls. The limpers between him and the preflop raiser call. The preflop aggressor raises again, and the players behind him fold. Player A calls, but player B now 3-bets. The next player calls, one folds, and the raiser calls. Player A now caps, and the remaining active players call. There are 4 players and 30sb in the pot.


The turn brings the Kh. Player A bets, and player B raises. Both players fold behind, and player A just calls. 2 players, 19bb in the pot.


The river brings the 7d. Player A bets, player B raises. Player A just calls.
