Preflop: Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
Hero raises, SB folds, BB 3-bets, Hero caps, BB calls.

Flop: (8.66 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)

BB bets, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, Hero calls.

I don't play 15/30 or 10/20, but I'm pretty sure the answer is "nothing." Nicely played

If this hand made you re-evaluate your choice of limit, all you were doing wrong was playing above your comfort level.

You played it fine.

This makes me want to play 15/30. Nicely played.

I guess there is not much I could have done here... he re-raised me pre-flop so all I could have done was put him on KK and maybe slowed down a tad... oh well... those are the breaks... I am certain he went broke at some point that afternoon, whereas I dropped back down to 10/20 and registered a 3rd successive $1000+ day!

I see the BB chose the effective, yet seldom discussed in poker literature, play of going in with a horseshoe up his arsh. Historically this play descended from the Ace up the sleeve trick which eventually became perceived by aficionados as too crude. As B&M cardrooms post 911 have begun installing metal detectors at their entrances, the horseshoe trick is now mostly the domain of on-line experts.

This particular example of a 3 bet with 95s is especially suited for the horseshoe trick because it is so well disguised. This lends a complimentary layer to the whole play with the denomination of the cards being as hidden as the horseshoe itself.
