Who can explain this hand?
 

Let me tell you a story about someone named Grandma who plays 3/6 at Lucky Chances...

Grandma plays every hand and play them in a way such that she will only raise when she has the pure nuts. Any other hand is usually getting called (always called preflop) and sometimes folded postflop. Sitting around the Grandma are a bunch of loose-passive players who play pretty poorly. They love to give free cards in big pots and live straddle given the option...all except for one guy named Brad who is sitting in the BB.

The button posts a $3 blind before the hand and I look down and see 76 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in LP. Bad UTG limps followed by an even worse EMP who limps. I of course limp and the loose button throws in 3 more chips to indicate a raise. A semi-loose wacki SB calls and Brad throws in 3 more. Now I know that Brad has a very strong hand here. He didn't see the button raise and he threw in his chips in such a way that he has a strong hand. But since he never actually said "raise" it is considered a call. We all call the raise and look at a flop of

7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (6 Players - 11 SB)

Everyone checks to me and I of course check because I don't have the nuts. Button bets. SB calls and Brad check/raises. We all call and the turn is

4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (6 Players - 11.5 BB)

SB checks, Brad checks and now the loose UTG bets. MP calls and I call because I fear a straight. Button calls, SB folds and Brad just calls. Meanwhile UTG is chanting "Six, Six, Six" and the dealer turns up the...

6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (5 Playes - 16.5 BB)

Brad checks and UTG bets. MP folds and I just call because I don't have the nuts. Button calls and Brad check/raises! UTG goes all-in for eight more chips. Since he didn't put in half a bet I am forced to call the eight extra chips. The button folds and Brad calls two more chips.

Final Pot (3 Players, 1 All-in - 24.5 BB)

I turn over my full house...and it is no good.

Care to explain?

You lost to a straight flush I guess? It's the only hand that beats your sixes full of sevens that I can see.


And I thought that you were Brad. The preflop summary confused me.

Hero doesn't have the nuts so he checks the flop.. Hero is Grandma.

Gotcha. Still, this means Grandma lost to a straight flush, right? Since Brad said her hand was no good.

Oops. I forgot about sevens full...

Someone may have had sevens full of sixes. So Grandma either lost to sevens full of sixes or a straight flush.

I can explain it.

The hero/gramma/you needs to bet that friggin' flop.

should Brad check the turn with a set of 7's?

Re: Who can explain this hand?
 

No I'd bet out and call a raise.

Re: Who can explain this hand?
 

I suspect that the winner of the hand (Brad) sitting in the BB won the pot with his Pocket 7s. My only read of this is that the Big Blind wouldn't think of raising with an 85 or 53 of hearts.

So you rivered your flush and ended up in 3rd place? You river g00t!

Brad has 77 or 33. UTG takes the pot with 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
