Craziest thing I've ever seen...

So it's Party 2/4, as you maye have guessed by the subject. I'm UTG with AKo and raise. UTG+1 three bets, we get two players calling three cold, and I just call.

Flop is a whole bunch of spades, eight-high, and I decide on the flop I'm gonna let this one go (no spade). Right or wrong, I decide overcards are not going to take this down with three more players.

Checked around.

Turn pairs that eight, I check it, three-bettor checks it, next guy bets and all call but me.

River is something I don't recall. Checked through. I don't even remember what won, but I've got $10 says no one call tell me what UTG+1 three-bet me with...

I will not take the wager however I guess he three bet you with pockets 2s or some other junk.

It happens, I have seen maniacal raises like that in a live $10-$20 game.

How many guesses do I get? 32o.

Nice. This is ecactly what I'm talking about in another thread about why I don't value AKo as high in loose games.

My guess, K8o.

What is exactly what you are talking about? Can you explain your logic here or point me to the appropriate thread?

Since 23o is taken, I'll go with 72o.

K8s - I've been 3-bet 2x live and 2 or 3 times online with this hand.

He three-bet with 34o.

Ulysses · #9 09-02-2003, 01:03 PM

While I don't usually 3-bet with it, that's actually a pretty good hand. He has a straight draw that will be well disguised. He has two small flush draws. He has two quads draws and a number of full house draws. And of course, some additional pair and two pair draws, though they might not always be good.

This is ecactly and exactly why I love AKo. If it was K8o, I'd love it even more!!!! This guy capped with a hand that legitimately has a shot to be playing the board on the river and you don't like AKo as much because of it? I don't understand.
