Find the fish (is it me)?

It looks like there were several people that didn't belong in this hand post-flop, but was one of them me? Of course, I didn't really expect this many calls, but one or two were definitely a possibility.

In case it matters, this is a 22.

I don't think you can ever fold your hand here. If someone limped 56, 77 I'm losing my stack (unless of course I hit one of my outs)

You have the third nuts in a 22. You have tons of outs against the nuts. I can't put someone on 77 or 56 here (note, even if you can put someone on 56, you should still call given the amount of stupid people). You beat two pair, you beat overpairs, top pair, overs + flush draw, bad straight draws.

I can't find myself laying down to the one hand that has me beat bad, 77 for the nut set.

It's possible that bb is betting with something like a pair and an inside straight draw, utg is pushing with the flush draw. And if you're beat you've got a decent chance of outdrawing. You're not wrong to play this.

I think you should consider if pushing over the top is the best way though. Represent a draw instead for the non-thinkers in the blinds. If you push over a bet and a push... well they should be less likely to call with something like tptk. Maybe call the first push?

Obviously you have forgotten every thing you have ever learned from Lorinda here.(for all those who have forgotten it, it is hidden at the bottom of the post)

Results in white below: 
Hero river quads.

Outcome: Hero wins mucho chips.

I'm just curious, what did everyone have, and what were the next two cards.

dfscott · #8 05-21-2005, 06:33 PM

well, it did play out in quasi-Lori-style...

BTW, the BB said right before he went all-in: "my set of sevens cant be that worthless," so I was a bit concerned at that point, but all's well that ends well:

Turn: (t940) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (5 players)

River: (t940) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (5 players)

Final Pot: t940

Results in white below: 
BB has 7h 7c (full house, sevens full of fours).
UTG has 9h 9c (two pair, nines and fours).
MP1 has 8s 9s (flush, king high).
Hero has 4c 4s (four of a kind, fours).
SB has Js 6s (flush, king high).
Outcome: Hero wins t3350. 

The funny part is that the guy that raked me over the coals was the SB...

I dont mean this in a bad way, but did you post this just after playing it? I bet that if you had looked the hand over the next day you would have realized that there was no need to post it

dfscott · #10 05-21-2005, 06:22 PM

When I played it, I pushed without a second thought. However, I started thinking that I had seen a bet at the pot, an all-in, and a call of an all-in before it got to me, indicating a decent, great, and really great hand (IMO). Of course, it's been a while since I've played the 22s, so maybe I'm giving people too much credit.
