We had a sick hand last night. Couple limpers.. flop comes 972, 1st player
to act bets $30 (1/2 the pot), 3 folds then the BB raises to $90, the orig
raiser goes all in for about $225, and the other calls.
1st player shows 97 for top two, BB shows A9, for TPTK.

Turn... A! The table goes nuts, as someone had said they mucked an Ace and
he only had 2 outs.

River... 7!!! The place goes nuts as the it goes suck, re-suck!

So was playing the $3/$6 on PS the other day when this doozy came up. The MP2 player was Loose-Agressive, playing too many pots, and betting hard on everything. if people missed, they would fold and not play back at him. He had gone to the river a few times and shown some marginal hands.

We are 7 handed and he raises to $18, standard 3x raise, the Button calls, and I have QQ in the SB. Raise? Call? I decided to raise to $50 as MP2 could have anything including AJ - Ax, and since the Button just called, I figured he would fold to a raise and had just called with a marginal hand to see the flop.

Let me just say now, I screwed this hand up good and got lucky. Don't think I don't know it!

MP2 raises me to $150, the button folds (as expected) and I go all in and he called...

BB ($300)
UTG ($322.20)
MP1 ($330.95)
MP2 ($375.90)
CO ($184.40)
Button ($934.85)
Hero ($783.90)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q, Q.
2 folds, MP2 raises to $18, 1 fold, Button calls $18, Hero raises to $60, 1 fold, MP2 raises to $150, Button folds, Hero raises to $783.9, MP2 calls $225.90 (All-In).

At this point I feel like i screwed up, as he may be LA, but he wouldn't call my all-in without a monster. And I am right, he has AA. But... the poker gods decided to shine on me...


Flop: ($1183.80) 8, Q, 5 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Flopped top set! Here's the sick part... Had I just called the $18, the button would have seen the flop too, and he said after he laid down KK. If I just call, MP2 is first to act and would most likely bet the pot $54. the Button with his KK would def. re-raise, to??? $150? that would make sense, cause a min-raise of $100 is to cheap. At which point I could have re-re-raised (or just called, hard to say right now what I would have done then), but point being that I lost money on this hand (Button's re-raise), by betting him off the hand.

Turn: ($1183.80) 5 (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: ($1183.80) Q (2 players, 1 all-in)

And just to kick a man when he is down, QUADS just for shits and giggles.

Final Pot: $1183.80

Results:
MP2 has Ac Ad (two pair, aces and queens).
Hero has Qc Qs (four of a kind, queens).
Outcome: Hero wins $1183.80.
