The Awesomest Hand I've ever seen

[SossMan]

I played today at the Palace Club in Hayward. Jesus, that's such a good game. The structure is 1/2/2 $5 to go. However, you can (or better yet, you can let others) 'kill' it for $5 making it $10 to go (by putting a blind $5 out before you get your cards, similar to a live straddle). You also have the option of double killing it for $10, making it $20 to go. First person out there w/ the blue $5 chip has dibs on killing it. Pots are killed better than half the time. The killer also has the benefit of acting last preflop (or more accurately, after the BB)

There is no cap on the buy in. Most of the stacks were in the $400-$1k range, but there were 3 or 4 who had $1500+ including one guy (BB in this hand) w/ 3k or so.

Reads: Button is thinking, but very aggressive, especially preflop, especially if he killed it. Anytime he kills it from the button, I always limp w/ any decent hand because like 70% of the time, he will make it $100 to go and I can repop it. He recently made a 1k pot sized bluff bet w/ 9 high on the river and showed his neighbor.
BB is a smart, good player.
Everyone else: very fishy loose.

the hand action is a little confusing because of the killers:

Button kills it for $5, loose tilting guy to my right double kills it for $10. So it's $20 to go.

UTG opens for $20
EP calls $20
action skips the double killer to my right
I fold
MP folds
LP calls $20
action skips killer on the button
SB calls $20
BB calls $20
action is on killer on the button: he makes it $200
action goes to double killer to my right: he calls $200
action goes to first opener who calls $200
2nd limper calls $200
LP calls $200
SB folds
BB takes his $20 back and slides out a handful of orange $100 chips that happen to add up to $1,000.
Button killer goes all in for $1800 total
2nd killer folds
UTG folds
EP calls his last $150 (he had $350 total)

all fold to the BB guy who had 1k out and $800 more to call. Just as he's about to call, the button flips up AA.

BB now reconsiders, adds up the pot, and calls.

EP shows me his cards KJs

Flop is J high, turn blank, river Q.

BB apologetically flips up QQ and Button goes nuts.

for those too lazy or confused to do the math, there is a main pot of $1670 and a side pot of $2100 and he had to call $800.
