I think that
most people are looking to 3-bet the flop, which is what I did. I wasn't ready to give SB credit for AA/88 just yet, and I knew that she wasn't folding anything but a
truly hopeless hand--maybe something like QJs or KQs that she's trying to get fancy with. I actually thought it most likely that she either had another AK or possibly AQ/AJ, and BB was just calling because that's what he does.

The last two streets pretty much play themselves after SB just called the flop 3-bet. I am, of course, betting for value on the river.
And I will transfer $5 to anyone's Party account if they can correctly guess what SB & BB held in this hand. Doesn't count if you were at the table. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
