Default diablo v strassa 25/50 UB

I was watching them 4 handed on UB and may have the action/board wrong but the basic info is there. If either wants to post the hand, IMO it has some merit for discussion.

Diablo is sb 10k, fish in the CO on 1k, strassa has around 4.5k after losing a hand to El D that i didnt see. Thus I have very little background info.

There was a raise somewhere and 3 see a flop (450 in pot)

5 K 7 r

El D checks, the CO pots it 400ish with 500 left, strassa minr to 800. El D cold calls in SB and CO pushes his last 100 on top. Strassa calls 100, as does diablo.

turn J?, check/check

river 8 (no flush) El D puts Strassa in for 3.5k...

The hand may not seem too interesting at first glance but would appreciate any input from the two players as the result was unexpected (to me at least)

thanks

Well, it looks like obvs El Diablo's isnt bluffing here with CO all-in, looks like Strassa needs a pretty strong hand to call here which he probably doesn't have given his turn check. The surprising part is what, Diablo moves with a more marginal hand and Strassa calls with a not so strong hand? I guess you could get into a situation where D thought he had the CO but not Strassa and so overplays his hand to some extent to try and get Str. to lay down but that's alot of assumption and risk to lay your stack on the line.

El diablo IMo can have any king here and is making sure strassa folds a better kicker since he's betting 3.5k in dry sidepot he's telling strassa his hand is amazing, he doesn't think strassa has 64, and strassa clearly doesn't have KJ or a set (unless he's doing some good high level thinking of making diablo bluff the dry sidepot onr river, but I doubt it). Diablo can easily have just 1 pair here imo, but feels ilke he's ahead of CO

I find your comment on the turn play quite interesting. Personally, I think the difficult part of this hand centres around the preflop play where "there was a raise somewhere".

I'm not very good at posting HH, which is the reason I don't post a lot.

I was posting the basic info so one of them might remember it and post the exact hand.

The hand may work better then if I say El D has 55.

Is it possible to be bad at copy and pasting?

I didn't copy and paste it at the time, the hand is from my (bad) memory - I understand if you don't want to post it but the whole reason I started the thread was to clarify what the action was from maybe an interesting hand?
How can you ridicule me for getting it way off and not sharing how way off I am?

Hey guys I watched this hand a while ago:

5/10 or maybe 10/20

UTG with 1000 behind limps and then BB raises, I think some people folded too and UTG calls

Flop A x x

UTG goes all-in, BB calls, what do you think?
