2+2TAG table. Guess Shillx's hand

[adsman]

First of all, thx to everyone for the game. I lasted 3 hours and I got my ass whipped. I've been running extremely well at .50/$1, (5.3BB over 18,000 hands) but last night I realised that my game really needs to improve. This was a TAG table with everybody generally being very tricky. Limping with a hand like 33 was almost impossible. My big hands never got paid off, and when I was found wanting I got punished. The first hour was 6 handed, which I've never played before and it showed. My stats for the night were 21%/14%/1.5. I think that shows that I was just getting plain intimidated after the flop. I dropped 44BB. I learnt a lot, my thanks once again to all concerned.

This for me was the most interesting hand of the night. Don't be confused by the size of the pot - the table average was around $5. I'm not including the names of the other two players as I don't know if they want their handles published or not.

What was Shillx's hand?

Obvious answer is QJ but probably not or you wouldnt be asking. My guess is TT then.

hmmmm... what would shillx cold call on button with and then call a flop bet with and then come alive on the turn? I will say AT of clubs.

[the_rookie]

I don't think shillx would CC QJs. I'd say he slowplayed KK or AA. The turn screams I can beat at least two pair. But like I said I don't see how shillx could have the straight.

I was thinking this too, but wouldn't a raise on the flop be standard if he had an A?

[A_C_Slater]

shillx wouldn't slowplay AA or KK....The Shillx I know abhors slowplaying.

Not if he's using the way ahead/way behind line.

Then again after the turn cap and the river raise it seems like his hand must be stronger than two pair.

But this was at a 2+2 table no? Funny things happen at these get togethers. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

[A_C_Slater]

True. He would probably change his whole game plan because he knows they know the standard game plan, etc. But why would he call on the flop with TT?

[A_C_Slater]

Would he really be raising the river after the turn cap without AA or KK?
