Making a Read and Going With it - a 50/100 hand.
3 Handed 50/100. Two players, both playing VERY loose and aggressive. I have only played about 10% of my button hands and have folded nearly every small blind hand. I have been defending my big blind semi-liberally.
I get Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] on the button. By the way the big blind (BB) looked at his cards, I put him on 44-JJ. I limped. The SB folded and the big blind bet. At this point, I am 98% sure he has AK. He'd check any pair jacks or worse to trap me. QQ he'd bet. KK he'd check, and AA he'd check. He'd check AQ and worse. So he either has AK or QQ. Since I have QQ, I am 98% sure he has AK. The other 2% is the rare possibilty of QQ. Knowing he had AK, I just called to see if the flop was safe. Flop is K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] He leads out. I decide that he'd make this bet with AK about 20% of the time. He'd make this bet with QJ 100% of the time. I raise for information, he three bets. I know this guy. He's a LAG. He raises QJ here EVERY TIME. At this point I am about 95% sure he has QJ, 2% sure he has QQ, and there's a 3% chance of AK. I call. The turn is the 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] He bets. Now I am sure he has QJ. I call. River is the 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. He bets, I raise, he raises, I cap. He calls. My main question is on my river play. I KNOW HE HAS QJ. I feel completely ok with capping the river. What do you think? Was I right to go with my read? What do you put him on?

Clearly this hand wouldn't be posted unless he showed down QJ or JJ. I don't like the cap here, unless your read is literally 100% correct. I love how 90% of the posts made make it clear what the villain is holding, based on the fact that the hand was posted at all, and that the tone of the posts is complete with a clear "I made a killer read, and put in more chips than *any other* poker player would have, because I KNEW I was ahead". Similar to bad-beat posts in disguise.

Hahahah great post...I can't belive people are responding wiht serious answers. You must be loving it.
- Jags P.S. For all of you who took it seriously the first time around, re-read it. By the way the BB looked at his cards, he put him on JJ-44. hahha, not 22 or 33, just 44-jj. Preflop he konws 98% that villain has AK, then postflop it is 80% he has QJ. Good stuff.
