56s

That's my vote... and I like the way he played it too... but with no read on the button, the exercise is somewhat of a guessing game.

66! He's a crazy fish you thinks you have AK.

Re: From the Text Book: HAND READING
 

56s, 44, 33, AQ/KQ...all possible. Given that it's an unknown 2/4 opponent so are 34s, Q3s, Q4s, Q7s, QQ, KK, AA, ........ AK, a bluff with something totally unexpected.....I'm sure there are more.

56s would be my first guess though with 33/44 second and a decent Q a distant third.

I don't know why you seem to think this isn't that hard to guess.

I don't think naphand would do that.

AQ

Re: From the Text Book: HAND READING
 

Actually I think most people are thinking that villain has me beat here, but I don't think losing with AA can be considered a bad beat unless its to a Rivered set or something like that. It's not like NL where frequently a ton of money gets invested up front PF. AA is just 1 pair and I long since stopped worrying about getting them cracked. I can tell you I got AA 3 times today playing $3/$6 full, and made a very healthy profit with them. 1 hand means very little on its own.

This may be a beat or it may not, people should stop getting so worked up about it. I posted this as a test for the forum to see if it would take to a regular post like this without bitching and moaning about "how hard it is" or "opponent could have any hands here - this is crap". IT'S A BIT OF FUN and an excuse to laugh at hands that bad players play for $$.

stripsqueeze ran a very successful "guess the hand for $$" thread over in the HUSH Forum (which is where I have mostly appeared from). I figured you weak-tighties might appreciate something similar...that's all. Some of his hands were horrible beats, some were wins it does not matter.

Lighten up guys.

Yes you are right. If it was just a matter of working things out against a straightforward and unimaginative player there would be no fun it it for ME! Why would I put up $20 unless some weeks no-one could work it out? Against chooks you are guessing quite a lot of the time - but still playing for value.

Ah yes, you are right but I did not say he was typical did I? No more hints.
