Interesting hand 43s raise in 6max NL!
Here is how it went, I dont' have the official hand converter so here it goes in my own words!
Crypto network (Betfair) 6max 1/2 pound NL, max buy-in 200 pounds!
Me UTG 300, the other guy 200.
I have 43h and raise 6,
I get 2 callers and the small blind reraises to 24!
I called additional 18 - now I know you may find it a questionable play but that's the way I play and it works for me, those hands are great moneymakers when they hit and they also ensure that after flopping a set of Ks you can build 200 pound pot because no one believes you!
2 callers folded, so the pot is 60 pounds.
I was sure at that time that the SB had either JJ-QQ or KK. He wouldn't reraise from the first position with hand that needs help from the flop and I felt he would make a smaller raise with AA.
So, the flop came
3d 7h As
and the SB put in another 25, now I was even more sure he didn't have AA as he would like to trap me on such benign looking flop and I certainly didn't believe he would reraise with 33 and 77.
So I called.
The turn came
5h
Now I had plenty of outs (2s, 3s, 4s, 6s and hearts for two pairs, straight and flush) and I liked what I saw plus I had the position and the A on board as I still believed he had JJ-KK.
At that time I expected him to stop betting and I would make a pot sized bet and pick it up right there.
But too my surprise he bet another 40.
I almost instantly put him all-in for my remaining 200, his 100!
He called and the river came another A!
I was toast and he overturned QQ!
After that I was subject of mockery: retard, muppet, haha serves you right for raising with 43s!
But in my opinion his play was bad as I wouldn't be laying any A rag from the flop on, plus I had a ton of outs and he hadn't anything going for him but his inability to lay down QQ and much luck!
So, what do you think?
