A6o in BB

[Tommy Angelo]

$40-80 at Bay101. Two players limped and the small blind completed. The SB had 3SB's left. I checked in the big blind with A6o, both black. Four players to the flop.

The flop was 6-5-5 with two diamonds. The small blind bet out. I raised. The next player called two cold. The next player folded. The small blind reraised exactly allin and I made it four bets. The non-allin guy called two more cold, and now there was 1BB in the headsup side pot with me first.

I rigidly put my opponent on a flush draw or straight draw based on the geyser of information that he provided during the flop betting. My plan was set. I would spend most my energy trying to figure out if the turn card made him his pat hand or if it gave him a bigger pair than sixes, and assuming it went bet-by me, call-by-him on the turn, I'd check the river and spend the rest of my energy trying to figure out if he is bluffing the river if he bets after I check.

The turn was a king. I bet and he called. I still liked my hand. The river was an eight. I checked as planned. He bet. I didn't like it so I folded. Opponent rolled 8-7 for a pair of eights. The SB had a five.

Nice hand.

If the SB had raised PF leaving him with 2 SBs, what would be your play?

[SLEEPER]

I can see why the SB only had 3 small bets left..... limps in with a 5! It is nice to see you back to raising, and making the best decisions throughout the hand.....

Nice hand

Tommy, you gotta tell us to sit down if you're gonna post stuff like this.

I hate the river play more than I could ever explain in text...but I've learned not to question these things you do anymore.
