Hachem - AA
SB - J10s

Uh, that would mean that SB has the nuts, and therefore would have to have been a complete idiot for not reraising on the river.

and the description of the SB prevents this?

Re: Joe Hachem hand from Main Event
 

I would put SB on AQ, maybe AK. I can't see a nervous (= weak-tight?) player with anything smaller than a big 2-pair by the turn.

I would put Hachem on QQ or JT, even though I know KK is more logical. That long pause and raise on the turn feels like "holy $#!+, I hit my gin card" to me.

Re: Joe Hachem hand from Main Event
 

Hatchem knows this player will call down, so he has no problem betting his AA.

Donk has KQ.

Edit: I also would not be surprised at all if Hatchem had JTs. Donk *definitely* has KQ though. I would put KK in Hatchem's range also but given that Donk has KQ those are unlikely.

Now that I think about it more I like Hatchem having JTs more and more.

They both got AK and chop the pot.

I smell set over set.

Re: Joe Hachem hand from Main Event
 

I don't see how you guys read SB as having something like A3 or KQ. All we know is he's a nervous slowplayer.

BINGO! I think you just hit the nail on the head. Either A-Q or A-K.. Chop the pot.

Re: Joe Hachem hand from Main Event
 

Hachem: ak
SB= kq

Re: Joe Hachem hand from Main Event
 

the river bet screams I have a hand that I want to check fold, but its a good hand. So I'm going to bet and hope you jsut call. Now that you raised, I want to fold, but you might be bluffing, and my hand is pretty good, and I really want to know what you have, so I call.

Underbetting mediocre hands and then calling a raise is one of the most salient characteristics of NL players our of their depth.

So what was the outcome? Let's hear it.
