Outcome: Hero wins $860.

As I cfalled preflop, I thought "maybe I can get two pair and stack him"

My heart sank when the 9 hit because I thought I was surely against aces. But then I filled up (but it didn't matter!) woohooo

PS I warned this was no content

I don't neccessarily consider KJ a really premium hand preflop especially against a raise, reraise situation but lovely sweep.

And also...find those players everytime you play poker!

Dunno..I usually fold PF. Too tight?

I hate to sound like a limit player, but he's getting 6-1 plus monster implied odds and he's presumably not going to lose his on a K or J high flop. Plus he closes the action

Plus he's playing against fools and their raises obviously mean nothing and they don't like money. Posistion+Fools+Able to stack them=not terrible call at all.

Doing this with a potentially dominated hand is not a good plan. I'd rather have 67s than KJo here by a long shot as they're at least presumed "live". Not going to show down a K or J high flop? Its going to cost big if you dont absolutely nail the flop.

Throw that hand away preflop man.
