Default Weird play begets weirder play

party 3/6. Pretty good table, plenty of cold-calling preflop. Not much 3-betting, but most hands are played for a raise.

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: elindauer is UTG+1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls, elindauer calls...

Let's stop for a moment and discuss this. Flame if you like, but this was simply a small randomization I make once in a blue moon. Note that I was reasonably confident it would be raised behind me.

... <font color="666666">2 folds</font>, MP3 calls, CO calls, Button calls, SB completes, BB checks,

I start thinking that I'll get what I deserve for failing to raise my aces.

Flop: (7 SB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(7 players)</font>

Yup. Damn. Why didn't I raise?

SB checks, BB checks, <font color="CC3333">UTG bets</font>,

ok, this is good. Maybe I can thin the field.

<font color="CC3333">elindauer raises</font>, MP3 calls, CO calls, Button calls...

Nope.

... SB folds, BB folds, UTG calls.

Turn: (8.50 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(5 players)</font>
UTG checks <font color="CC3333">elindauer bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">MP3 raises</font>...

Crap.

... CO folds, Button calls, UTG folds, elindauer calls.

I realized I've underrepresented my hand thus far and probably need to call down.

River: (14.50 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
elindauer checks, MP3 checks, Button checks.

Final Pot: 14.50 BB
<font color="green">Main Pot: 14.50 BB, between elindauer, MP3 and Button.</font> &gt; <font color="white">Pot won by elindauer (14.50 BB).</font>

Results:
elindauer shows Ac Ah (two pair, aces and nines).
MP3 shows Ks Kh (two pair, kings and nines).

KK?! What? Where's the preflop raise? Do you believe this? Why didn't he bet the river? So weird.

Button shows Td 8d (two pair, nines and eights).

Outcome: elindauer wins 14.50 BB.



I don't know if anyone has anything interesting to say about this hand. I'm just posting it because I was so generally confused after it happened. Thanks.
