A few live hands for review (Hand 2)

[BatsShadow]

EDIT: Worst edit ever. The flop suits were wrong, and since this is a flush draw hand....

Alright, I have better reads for this one.

Button has been at the table all day. He's young college-type, has a huge stack, and I've seen him make some good laydowns. I haven't really seen most of his scores, but he's obviously winning. If he's not a 2+2er, he should be. In our only battle before this, I flop my Ace good kicker, with 2 spades on the board, he bets, I raise, and he calls me down, staring right in my face with this huge smirk and then folds the river. I say, "spades?", and he just says "Yeah."

UTG is the stereotypical, middle-aged regular who obviously has somewhat of a clue but plays too many hands while saying he shouldn't and is quite a bit more passive than a really good player. He may or may not be a slight winner overall, but he's losing today.

The action here is a little more fuzzy in my memory than hand 1. I hope this is close enough.

Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button calls</font>, SB calls, BB checks.

Flop: (6 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font>
Blinds checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, Hero calls, MP2 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Button Raises</font>, Blinds fold, <font color="#CC3333">UTG 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, MP2 folds, Button calls, UTG calls.

This cap is ok, right? This is the part that worries me. Once its 3-bet, I know there are only gonna be 3 in this, but I think I still have the equity edge because the rake is capped already, right?

Turn: (9.5 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG 3-bets</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#CC3333">Button caps</font>, UTG calls, Hero calls.

I wasn't too happy that we had to cap this, but obviously I'm along for the ride.

River: (21.5 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> BAM!
UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, Button calls, UTG calls.

I don't remember the exact river action, but I think this is correct.

Final Pot: 24.5 BB

I say, "I've got it.", button shows 2 pair KJ, UTG says, "Wait, did you raise on the flop when you didn't have anything?", and the dealer says, "He bet on the come."
