That's interesting, I played a hand online today very similar, and I'd been thinking about it all day when I stumbled onto your post.

Ultimate Bet 3/6 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG raises, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 folds, Hero 3-bets, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button calls, SB caps, BB folds, UTG calls, Hero calls, Button calls.

Flop: (17 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets, Button raises, SB calls, UTG folds, Hero calls.

Turn: (11.50 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, Button bets, SB calls, Hero calls.

River: (14.50 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, Button bets, SB calls, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 17.50 BB

Results in white below: 
Button shows Qd Kd (two pair, kings and nines).
SB shows Ks Ac (two pair, kings and nines).
Hero shows Ad As (two pair, aces and nines).
Outcome: Hero wins 17.50 BB. 

When the board paired on the turn, I basically decided I was either way ahead or way behind and was going to check/call all the way, especially if I didn't have to call two cold. Luckily, the guy on my right accomodated by not raising. He must have been just as scared of the board as me. Comments?

"He agonized over this for a bit, and so I posted it on his behalf. "

Why are you talking about this place to players in that game, and why on earth would you offer to post a hand for someone?

He's known about this site for some time now, but doesn't like to write- mostly a lurker. He actually asked me to post it.

The fact that Midwest bet the river despite the paired board gave sb the info he needed to fold. He agonized over this for a bit, and so I posted it on his behalf.

Sounds like he made the right choice. He need not agonize... it sounds like he's at least as solid, if not more so, than us forum jockies.

Just be careful Babe, it's a very small gossipy group in that room and it's really best to try and avoid discussing this place at all costs.

Exactly. Perfectly played. Heck, he probabaly should have folded when raised on the flop. That's the only possible mistake I can see.

It's not the raise that should make him fold... it's the cold-call.

No, its both. It's obvious he has aces because what else would he raise from the blinds with? Once raised, he should know he is screwed. I mean, what do they think he's raising with? Obviously his hand is no good. Frankly, I think check-folding may have been a good option now that I think about it. Even if he managed to survive the flop, he's probabaly going to lose by the river anyways.

NM, you're right.
