AA for UTG. 55 for button.

A hand-reading excercise implies that there's a way to rationally deduce what they have and there's some value to doing so. This sounds more like drawing straws by your comment.

UTG 46h
Button 42c

turn...brick river...brick UTG's 6 kicker is good... just kidding

From how you have detailed the UTG "self proclaimed poker stud" vs. weak tight Button it sounds to me that UTG tried to make a play on the Button and got caught. 55 and 33 seems to obvious for the utmost respect your are proposing.

UTG have nothing and the button shocked the table by calling the HUGE bluff with a pp say 77.

I say UTG has AA & Button has 55 (or 33).

I agree except I doubt button has 33 because I dont think he would raise and try to scare anyone away with his quads. I think 55 is quite possible for the button here with his quick call. He has to be sure he's got the nuts or close to it.

We have a winner. Congratulations on the great read. You weren't at the table were you?

So yeah, UTG led out for a pot size bet with quads and then pushed for a ridiculous amount when the weak-tight button raised him. He only gets a call from the button when he has 55, which is what he had this time.

The UTG player thought he was a genius for playing it the way he did. I told him he played it miserably and he replied by telling me to "sit with more money next time" so that he could break me like that too. I laughed and ordered another vodka tonic.

Never even been to Vegas, heh. UTG obviously has a monster, he has no fear of losing the hand. The only real monsters are 5-5 and 3-3...and like you said, button isn't raising there with 3-3.
