odd little hand 215

[citanul]

Hi, my name is citanul and I'm in love with sets. As a result of that, I kinda like pocket pairs. It's possible I play them in spots I shouldn't. Was this one? Bear with me.


Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (9 handed) converter

BB (t885)
UTG (t690)
UTG+1 (t837)
MP1 (t2005)
MP2 (t1280)
MP3 (t1028)
CO (t1180)
Hero (t1245)
SB (t850)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to t125</font>, MP3 calls t125, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>,

Ok, so here we are the first time. It's 125 to the hero, on the button, with a pair. And not just ANY pair, but SEVENS! Oh, and there's already 325 or so in the pot, and everybody in the hand has &gt;1k chips, so my implied odds all look nice and dapper.

Hero calls t125, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t275</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 folds, MP3 calls t150,

Oh now, that just wasn't very nice at all. The upside: Well, I can put the sb on an incredibly narrow range of hands, all of which I take his whole stack if I hit my hand, and well, once again, the immediate odds are looking pretty hot. So of course,

Hero calls t150.

Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

Hm, the converter seems to have crapped out on me:

SB bets 250, MP3 is all-In 753, and well, HERO's decisions were made before the flop, no set, no bet, Hero folds. SB is all-In [325]

Well fortunately for me, I'm not an idiot (or am I?) because well, I knew that there was no way that AQ was good. Sadly for MP3, he did not know that secret, and lost a lot of chips.

meh?
