Default Re: Would you play this differently?

I'd play it the same way up until the river. On the river, I'm not convinced that MP1 has QJ, unless it's QcJc. Would he call all the way with 2 overcards and a gutshot when the board has a pair and a flush draw? I think it's much more likely that he has an 8. The only question is whether his kicker gives him a full house or not. It looks like the button may have a pocket pair, so when MP1 bets into you on the river, you can either call and hope that the button overcalls with his pair or you can raise and, assuming that the button folds, MP1 might even re-raise with his 8 (at which point you would just call). Either play is fine.

I just read the results, so I guess the above is wrong cause MP1 did have QJo. Oh well, at least you didn't lose any extra on the river.
