AA play

[Nick C]

UTG's flop check/3-bet followed by his turn check certainly does look like a draw, especially once he just calls (instead of checkraising again) on the turn. Or I guess maybe he was scared MP2 had a 7, or maybe he hoped the flop check/3-bet would chase everyone away?

Regardless, it really looks like you've lost when the board's double-paired and it's two to you on the river. At that point, I'd be thinking that, while UTG might be making a desperation stab into two players, one of whom (you) had shown nothing but strength, MP2 must have kings full.

I wouldn't be so sure about this anymore once MP2 just called UTG's river 3-bet.

Strange hand. I guess maybe you would have won, but I don't think you will win in this sitution (on the river) often enough to stay in when it's two to you.

I might stubbornly see the showdown against maniacs, but without a read that your opponents were maniacs, I don't see what else you could do.
