T-stone 20-40, interesting AKo hand.
 

This hand came up last nite at the Stone. I'm up a rack or so and showing some decent hands, and having made a few moves which folks suspect but didnt result in showndown. Kinda my usual LAG style, probably around a 26 VIP.

UTG limps in, he's a somewhat kinda-sorta relatively decent player (by Stone standards), but plays too many hands. His EP/UTG limping range here is any suited connectors above 89 and below KQ, pairs up to 88, KQo, AJo, and ATo. UTG seems to be under the mistaken impression that I am a competent practitioner of limit Texas Hold 'Em.

Folded around to me in the cutoff with AsKh. I raise, the BB calls, UTG limper calls. 3 to the flop.

Flop is 4h5h8h. The BB checks, UTG bets, I raise, BB folds, UTG 3-bets, I call.

Turn is the 8d. UTG bets, I raise, UTG 3-bets, I call.

River is the 8s. UTG bets.

My move?

Pot this big is worth raising again given he thinks you're competent. How you make it to the river with a pot this big is a mystery to me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Lets hope he folds some flushes or 55 or 44?

Results.
 

I raise the river, and UTG mucks his 44 face up. I overplayed my hand on the turn, but I think this gave me the only chance I had to win. Made the wrong move at the right time.

p.s. Michael, life is full of mysteries.
