Standard I think. No way i'm folding this.

It looks like MP2 has AK. I don't think he's capping with less than that, and he's certainly not playing so passively on that flop with a big pair.

This might be the LAG in me struggling to get out, but I 3-bet that river first time around. I'm almost certain you have MP2 beat. I doubt he's playing KK that passively on the flop (but if so you should make a note of it). UTG+1 is a bit of a worry. He could have T8 or 86 if he's bad enough, but even those seem like remote possibilities... it could be two pair or it could be a lower set. I say push it.

My guess:

UTG had 77 or more likely if he is a thinking player T8 (and maybe 86), because he should have been able to put you on JJ.

MP had AK or KK.

I like the way you played it.

After the turn cap I'm figuring UTG+1 has a straight and I'm praying for a paired board on the river. When it doesn't pair I'd like to get to showdown as cheap as possible. I'd also like to reach over and slap MP2 for costing me an extra $3. Don't see how you can fold though.

How can we put a "thinking" player on T8 or 86? I don't know of a thinking player that would cap that before the flop.

POKhER · #7 08-02-2005, 08:36 AM

Play it the same,
Lose to straight(Hmm i doubt it :|) or KK

Nice hand, nice pot, Nice play.

Hi J:
UTG didn't cap nor make any raises preflop. He looks like he got trapped between two other raisers.

jbird · #9 08-02-2005, 08:39 AM

I agree with the others Looks like UTG+1 had 77 or slowplayed AA and then realized it too late, MP2 looks like AK. I play it the same.

2+2 Junkie · #10 08-02-2005, 11:51 AM

Well, UTG+1 held 6c8c, for a miracle retarded straight and MP2 had 77, so my trip Jacks were no good. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't too agressive with it.
