Default Everyones falling out of their chairs to go all in! I have 2nd nuts.

I found myself with the second best hand possible and a lot of action ahead of me.

Reads:
CO - He is a fairly solid player. He doesn't bet unless he has a strong hand. He calls far too often after the flop. loose-solid postflop. He can make a rare large bluff. Very loose and wild preflop.

UTG, MP - They are fairly new players to the table. I haven't noticed tons of aggression from them yet. I would make the assumption that their bets generally mean what they are suppose to mean until they prove me otherwise.

Table image hero-
I have been playing fairly tight aggressive preflop and postflop. But I have been playing against the CO since he plays so many hands. And I did not try to bluff him since he calls too often and I did bet marginal hands for value. So that could have altered my table image. People may think that I don't bluff and I bet marginal hands for value unless they took into account how my opponent played (CO).

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 6 handed) internettexasholdem.com

CO ($23.50)
Button ($57.05)
Hero ($49.50)
BB ($34.92)
UTG ($50.50)
MP ($36.35)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $0.25.
UTG calls $0.50, MP calls $0.50, CO calls $0.50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero (poster) completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($2.50) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG checks, MP checks, CO checks.

Turn: ($2.50) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $2</font>, BB folds, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $4</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to $8</font>, CO calls $8, Hero calls $6, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $16</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to $27.85 (all in)</font>, CO calls $15 (all in), Hero ...

I folded here.

The board is pretty barren I thought. Possible hands people could have are flush draws (two on the board). Sets. Straights. Another A5 is possible and 56 could be out there for the higher straight. I didn't think two pair was likely except from the CO who plays virtually all hands.

I believe I owe $19.85 into a pot of $75.35 when it is my decision here.

But after a re-re-reraise I thought that the UTG would put me all in. If that is the case I would put in $41.5 to a $97 pot essentially from this point on. But then I would only need to beat UTG for a lot of the pot.

There is only one hand that can beat me on the turn 56. There is one hand that can split with me a5. And there are many hands that can outdraw me - a set and a flush draw. I figured its not worth the risk to split the pot and it is quite possible I am already beaten. It is likely that I could be outdrawn.

The only one I wasn't really worried about is the CO. Since he is loose about calling and he was kind of short stacked so he was getting good pot odds.

The other two: UTG, MP, were raising and reraising every chance they got.

What a hand. The second possible best hand and tremendous action on not a whole lot on the board.

Of course now here is the question: what would you do and why?

I'll show the results and the rest of the hand later.
