This is what passes for a big pot at Absolute Poker. Guess the hands.
 

I just now looked up everyone's hands. Give your best guesses as to what I found.

Absolute Poker $3/$6. Can someone please tell me where to find a hand converter that actually WORKS with Absolute six-max games? If not, and if there is enough demand, I will write one.

UTG folds, <font color=" #FF0000">UTG+1 raises</font>, <font color=" #FF0000">CO reraises</font>, button calls three cold, <font color=" #FF0000">small blind caps</font>, big blind folds, UTG+1 calls two more, CO calls, button calls.

Flop: Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

<font color=" #FF0000">Small blind bets</font>, UTG calls, <font color=" #FF0000">CO raises</font>, button cold-calls two bets, <font color=" #FF0000">small blind three-bets</font>, <font color=" #FF0000">UTG caps</font>, CO calls two more, button calls two more, small blind calls.

Turn: 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Small blind checks, <font color=" #FF0000">UTG bets</font>, <font color=" #FF0000">CO raises</font>, button calls two cold, small blind calls all-in for almost the full amount, UTG calls.

River: K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

UTG checks, <font color=" #FF0000">CO bets</font>, button calls, UTG calls.


Final pot after rake: $160.50


So, who won this pot and with what? Also, what did the other players have?

this converter works for me

please give me button's screen name. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] He could have literally any 2, but I'd give him a pair of some sort on the flop.

UTG1 played his hand like a stupid Ax[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], or a better looking QQ.

CO looks like AA, KK, or AQ.

SB could have damn near anything, but its probably a pp or a Q.


UTG1 or CO drug the pot. I'd wager it was UTG1.

I've tried that converter a few times, including for this hand; I always get an error along the lines of "Error processing hand history. Hand history has been emailed to admin for review."

A couple of your guesses are on target and a couple not so much. Let's put it this way: you're giving some of these guys too much credit. I have mid-six-figures hands played online and &gt; 100K at Absolute and I _still_ find myself surprised occasionally when I peek at a hand history.

UTG+1 has probably AK hearts or worse Ax but not AQ

CO AA/KK/QQ
SB the same maybe AK as well.

My guess is that Button is a nice guy that everyone loves (unless he had TJ here)

EDIT: Just read your hints
I'm sure now btn took it with JT!

this is easy. But if this was done in true AP fashion the winner would have been a flopped gutshot instead of a flopped open ender.

I'm disappointed in the lack of guesses and comments, ESPECIALLY from regulars on Absolute. This hand is way out of the norm for that game.

I guess I'll post results a little later tonight.

OK, quick recap: This pot was capped four ways pre-flop and the final board was Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

UTG+1, who raised pre-flop then called two more bets when it came back to him capped and who also smooth-call-capped the flop, bet and was the third caller of a raise on the turn and overcalled the river had T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

The button, who just generally called a billion bets cold, had K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

The small blind, who (semi-)cold-capped pre-flop and bet/three-bet and called a cap on the flop in a four-way pot had T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

The cutoff dragged the whole thing with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Outrageous.
