Full Tilt Poker 5+0.50 buyin
At the final two table, I have about ~8000 in chips and the blinds are 300/600 with 75 ante. I was just moved to the table, so I have no reads. Dealt A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] suited in BB, everyone folds around to the button who calls, SB folds. I check. (Button has around ~15000) Flop is A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] I three-bet post flop, button goes all-in. Now I'm a little confused at this point, I'm sure I have the best hand, although he might've hand AQ too, I put him on a open ended straight + four-card flush draw which would make this essentially a coin-flip hand. Do I lay down the best hand here, or is this an automatic call. Results to follow. |

How can you possibly lay that down?
and there are no possible open ended straight draws, gutshot perhaps. |

With him being on an gutshot straight + four card flush draw, even with my top two pair, i'm still only about a ~50-60% favourite postflop.
At this point I'm only 3 spots away from the money, I'm not sure if I should risk being knocked out on a hand where I'm a marginal favourite, even if I have top two pair. Although he could've also been holding AQ, thus my dilemma. |

Great hand, lots of money in the pot, call. You fold, you likely won't make the next 3 spots anyway. Plus, you have a few outs to a boat yourself.

Are you freaking kidding me???
Why do you automatically put him on a gutshot with a flush draw? Sure that's a possiblility. I also might win next year's WSOP main event. A comet might hit the earth after this hand. Ralph Nadar might win the presidency. Anything is possible. I think you are fearing monsters. You have the easiest of calls. If he has 22/QQ, so be it...cards happen. Chances are very, very, very, very, very, very good that you have the best hand. Hell, you don't give stack sizes, or the sizes of the bets on the flop, but you might be PC'd just for you 4 outer if he has 22. |

hmmm, perhaps this is another segment of Full Tilt's clever marketing strategy...

Results:
I can't lay down the two pair so I call the all-in, he turns over J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] which I had suspected. Turn is 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] giving him the flush, but I spike Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on the river for the boat, doubling through. Apparently he's a maniac, he did the same thing a few hands later and got busted by a Ace-high flush. I guess that's what I get for playing a 5+0.50 tournament. |
