i was just looking over some random hands, and i found this one. i thought it was interesting. what i have written (and their stats, which i may or may not have had access to at the time):
KQs 12584 coldcaller's an idiot lag
MP: 57/12/1.5 (65 hands)
Button: 50/13.2/1 (68 hands)
even though they have similar stats, button was really on a tear at this table (MP was not). because of that i probably only saw him play good hands well, and i used to only take notes on the bad players (at least who i thought looked bad). that said, here's the hand:
Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (6 max, 5 handed)

i don't see what the river raise is accompishing here.
forgetting the reads, and treating them as unknowns: an unknown just woke up on the turn and check-3bet a pf raiser and 3-bettor. the pf 3-better then caps the turn. i can see calling the 2 bets on the turn, since you have outs (and hell, maybe they are crazy) -- but i don't like the river raise at all.
