Re: One of those WTF hands, play along with me
 

I think we see AJ, JJ or AQ. AJ is probably borderline for him preflop. us having AQ makes me discount that as a holding for villain, JJ looks like a winner. I don't see anything we beat playing this way.

I Fold. Then again if I'm also assuming I'm 12 tabling I likely call. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

This was one of those hands that was just perplexing all the way through. I think I botched it. I think it's a good play-along hand.

UTG is greg1osu, an OK nitty regular, I have him at 14/10. Button is clearly a donk, but that's all I know.

Start with preflop, which poses one of those really annoying spots:

Hero ????

Plan for the flop?

i would definitely lead out here, reasonable size. $30 or so. if UTG folds, i plan to get it in with the idiot. if UTG shows any agression i insta fold. if UTG calls and donk calls, i probably don't put any more money into the pot

OK I checked the flop, to be met with this lovely action:

Turn: ($56) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 Players)

Maybe I should c/r the flop when I see that ridiculous $4 but I figure there's no real point -- I'm wa/wb with both btn and utg, and am not going to get called by worse. So I just called. what now?

ok, as played, raise it up to try and force out UTG, or at least force him to reveal the strength of his hand

Totally lost on turn and river...should I have led either? what?

fold the turn, what is he betting here that you beat. fold river, he would probably check behind with AK (i don't know this player, nitty preflop and postflop? does he go nuts with TPTK), and AK is the only hand you beat. i reckon he has AA or TT
