BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I know the preflop action was crazy, but I fold this. You aren't closing the action, you are behind to any number of decent raising hands from even a moderate player, and you don't have suitedness to make up for it. I don't like this call (I would appreciate hearing from others about it).

Postflop, your flop call is ok, given that you're getting 36:1 on it closing the action. Dear lord. Nice odds.

On the turn, I bet this, and hope BB raises to thin the field. If you've got a good enough hand to call down, I would play this aggressively from here on out. I bet the river as well.

I'm guessing MP2 was all-in somewhere and it didn't mention it.

Yeah, I pretty much agree with you.

Bad pre-flop call. Flop call was fine. Mistake to not have bet the turn, giving BB the chance to raise.

Yes. Fold preflop. Real easy.

Man! It's amazing how often this stuff happens. They just love to build huge pots and hope their crap rolls in. It really sucks when you've got an actual hand and get beat out.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't have been in this one. I would have folded pre-flop. Great fun though. You should play at Pacific that pre-flop on some tables can approach a rate of 50% of the hands.
