Hand reading from the live 2+2 table
 

This one is from the table Ignignokogoktockoctgotgt and I played together last night. It was the first B&M poker experience for either of us. A good time was had by all. This was the only remotely interesting hand, though. The table was extremely passive. Lots of limping preflop, and very, very little raising post flop. BB in this hand was exceptionally passive. I'm not sure I had seen him raise at all before, maybe once. He was willing to bet in a couple of ill-adivised places before, though. He bet when checked to IP with a low two pair on a four-flush board. It worked, however - he folded a guy (MP3 in this hand) with a straight. He had repeatedly shown that he was willing to play some garbage. MP3 had LRR'd a few times before, and he was willing to donkbet the flop with as little as a pair of twos. His play was pretty erratic.

Muckleshoot 4/8, 9 handed.

Wookie is in the SB with XX. Iggie is on the button with YY.

Folded to MP1 who open limps. MP3 limps. Iggie raises. I 3bet out of the SB. BB calls 2. MP1 and MP3 call. Iggie caps it. I call, and it's called around.

Flop is 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Checked to Iggie who bets, I raise. BB cold calls, MP1 folds, MP3 cold calls, Iggie calls.

Turn is 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (not sure if it was exactly a 4, but it was a low diamond) I bet, BB calls, MP3 folds, Iggie calls.

River is a fourth diamond of which I am again unsure of the value (T? Any help from Iggie?). I bet, BB raises, Iggie thinks for a bit and folds, I think for longer and call.

What hands could I have played well? What hands could Iggie have played well?

I'm guessing you both had a decent diamond.

You KK (mayyyybe AA) w/ a [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Iggie QQ w/ a [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Re: Hand reading from the live 2+2 table
 

Gonna try the quicky reply. You have KK and he has QQ or JJ or something. You both have diamonds. It looks like he has A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] x crap.

Unrelated to hand, but great minds...

Iggie has AQs with no diamonds. You have KK and you have the red diamond.

he said what hands could iggie have played well, though.

I have to admit, I looked at someone else's post after I posted and QQ makes a lot of sense. I think he folded because he didn't have a diamond. I guess he could have since he thought for a while.

Re: Hand reading from the live 2+2 table
 

Seems like big pocket pairs for both of you. I don't think Iggie has a diamond. I'd say he has AA/KK/QQ with no diamond, and you are likely holding QQ/KK with a diamond.

Re: Hand reading from the live 2+2 table
 

You both had overpairs and you both have a [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I think you had JJ and he had QQ or KK (less likely).

EDIT: I think Iggy can't make an overcall with either of these hands for fear it's going to be two back to him.
You on the other hand. I think you insta-call with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and definitely K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] against this guy.

I gave you JJ because you had to think and you asked if the river was the T. Otherwise, I could have put you on TT aswell.

I'm probably not the one to ask - I remembered the suit of the 4-flush being clubs.

I'm slightly (slightly!) heartened by the responses here, though.
