Playalong! AJo UTG in a kill pot

There was going to be another decision where we either donk or go for a check-raise. This decision was made easier by Button getting his bet ready to go while the action was still on BB, so going for the check-raise was easy.

Hero bets because Hero always bets. No really though, Hero bets because you're calling a bet anyway, and you may get a pointless raise from Button you can use to isolate him. BB is calling two cold, and you can 3-bet to fold CO. Now you get HU against Captain Straddle (Button) where he could have anything from a set to a gutshot, and likely the worse end of that range.

Button in this hand is Eddie, the guy whose name is not Hank.

I'm not sure how much you're joking/high on Robitussin, but 3-betting this flop with BB trapped in the middle is insanity. Button is LAGgy, but not a maniac, and even if i'm ahead of him, i don't know how often i'm ahead of cold-calling BB.

Sorry, that was a little unclear. I'm not 3-betting the flop if BB cold-calls a raise, only if he folds (which is uncertain being loose-passive... they love to call one but two bets sometimes scares them off), and maybe not against "Eddie."

I'll give you 3.5 queens plus maybe one for the ace. It's close to a fold, but I'm constantly amazed at what people are holding when they pay you when you hit, so call and see the river. You'd have to order me a lot more Jack-and-Cokes before I'm leading at this turn. Maybe with bottom pair...

[Slim Pickens]

At least you didn't say "I check-raise" for your first action on the river.
