they were suited, and no I probably wasn't winning AT THE TIME, but I put them both on AK. I put the small blind on a K and the Big blind on a weak A. I figure, add in my flush outs, and I should be fine. The question wasn't about the preflop play. Read the title.

by the way, when the turn came, my read of AK turned to a JQ for both. It was too unlikely for them to catch the A. The river K cemented my read.

Apparently your logic is way over my head, because what you are saying makes absolutely no sense to me. But I play bad.

[ QUOTE ]
We are playing 7 handed at a club in Chicago.
No reads but these, only been at the table for an hour.Four of the guys are really solid players. One is a tricky player who is one of the best players I have played against. The last player is the reason I am in the game. I'd say he is a -1 BB/hour player.

solid player 1 (SP1) open raises UTG. Tricky player re-raises (TP) and I call on the button with 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and the blinds fold...

Three handed, we see a flop of 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Check, Check, I bet, Raise, Raise, I decide I want to see what the turn brings and call, SP1 calls. The turn is an A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. This card could either help me or hurt me. SP1 checks, TP bets...

Hero... Raises. I decided to throw a curveball and semi-bluff raise. I might have the best hand, but if I don't, I can at least force out SP1 with it two bets to him.

Plan backfires, he calls, so does TP.

River comes K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Now SP1 comes to life and bets, TP calls, and I think about my options:

Fold - I don't think this is an option. There is way too much money in the pot.

Call - I am probably beat, I am thinking it's worth it to call here.

Raise - I like this option the most. If I raise, I can force out TP and I will have 33% of the money in the pot for an estimated 40% at winning.

I decide to raise but SP1 throws an unexpected three-bet. TP calls, and I call.

I know I butchered this hand, but where did I go wrong?

Thanks a lot. [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I think Tom's point is that there are so many horribly played high-limit hands posted on this forum that this is almost beleivable. Also that 2+2ers don't know a joke when it hits them in the face. Apparently he's right.

over imaginative. these guys like their hand man. no one is folding. someone might have a flush. fold the river and get onto the next hand.

Next time, make sure to have the first letter of every sentence spell out something like 'pranked'. It adds comedy.
