<font color="green">I have no read. Villian is unknown.
Well, I have a preliminary stats read against him but nothing else is known. The stat read is that he is a 53/18/4 after 17hands.</font>
Preflop: Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, <font color="#666666">
4 folds</font>, Hero calls.
<font color="green">If I'm not 3betting PF, I'm going to checkraise a favorable flop.</font>
Flop: (4.50 SB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="green">The one is kind of ugly but it will do, only one card in the playing zone and it's not an ace.</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG 3-bets</font>, Hero calls.
<font color="green">After his 3bet I'm a little bit worried. But.. after calling PF in the BB and check raising the flop versus a PFR, I'm very used to being 3bet when the PF raiser has a hand like 2 overcards. I don't know why they do it, but I've seen it a lot.
He could have AQ, he could have a pair better than mine, he could have two high cards that whiffed, he might also have 2 spades. I don't know the relative frequencies of each but I think I'm good enough to continue.</font>

<font color="green">I was planning on seeing a showdown but I hate this river card. I can't imagine being good often enough, so...</font>
