Hand to Talk About

[Mason Malmuth]

Hi Everyone:

I sat in a $30-$60 game a little earlier tonight and this interesting hand came up.

Before the flop, it was passed to me and I held Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] two off the button. I raised and the two players behind me called as well as the big blind.

The flop came T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. The player in the blind checked. I bet. The player behind me raised. The player on the button called the two bets cold. The player in the blind folded, and I called.

Fourth street was the A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. I checked. The on the flop raiser bet, but his bet put him all in for $40. The button called. I check raised making it $100 total, and the player on the button called.

The river was the T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I bet and the player on the button folded.

All comments welcome.

Best wishes,
Mason
