Button was 81/49, and was on serious tilt, especially against me.
BB was 24/18/2.36 over 150 hands.

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
1 fold, MP calls, Hero calls, Button calls, 1 fold, BB checks.

I always raise aces. However, the button was on such serious tilt, I thought I'd get more money in the pot by limp reraising. It didn't work.

Flop: (4.40 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 players)
BB checks, MP checks, Hero bets, Button raises, BB calls, MP folds, Hero 3-bets, Button caps, BB calls, Hero calls.

Button's cap was his standard tilt play. My read is that he hit a piece of the flop, but I'm probably still ahead.
BB's check-double cold call is disturbing me.

Turn: (8.20 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, Button calls, BB raises, Hero 3-bets, Button folds, BB caps, Hero calls.

Looking at this now, I really can't 3 bet here, I can't be ahead.
Given the cap, I'm either up against a straight, in which case I have no outs, or up against a set, where I have 2 outs. I don't think 2 pair is a likely holding.
I don't have enough odds to call even a 2 outer, so I suppose I should develop the discipline to fold pocket Aces to this cap?

River: (17.20 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB bets, Hero calls.

I just called here, since I couldn't convince myself that a set was significantly more likely than a straight.

Final Pot: 19.20 BB
