Interesting hand from 2k today
 

I wasn't in this hand, I folded PF. I'm gonna present this hand from the vantage point of the dude that I think had the most interesting decision.

So important players in this hand:

UTG+2: just joined the table with about 17k in chips, so no real reads except he's a middle-aged dude that looks like a cheery businessman.

SB: some random clown live pro who starts the hand with about 10k in chips. has been active but not TOO spewy.

BB: Hero! I am a millionaire south american businessman who enjoys playing the no limit holdem. I started the hand with about 15k. I haven't been particularly active but not really nitty either... just kinda tight/passive. I have a small bottle of tabasco sauce as my card protector.

On to the hand.

100/200/25 blinds and antes. UTG limps, UTG+2 limps, CO limps, BTN limps, SB completes, you check Q4hh in the BB.

Flop: (~1400) Jh 9h 2h

We flopped a flush! SB checks.

1) Do you usually bet here? If so, how much?


We elect to check. UTG checks, UTG+2 bets 700, folds around to SB who insta- makes it 2300.

2) What action do you normally take here? Call, fold, raise? If raise, how much? Just shove?


We elect to call. UTG+2 makes it 7500 straight. SB freaks out, and spends about 9 minutes (seriously) before someone finally calls the clock, and he runs it out before he finally folds his hand.

3) What do you do here? Fold, call, or shove?


Anyway thought it was a cool hand.

I put the other players on Kh Jx and Ah Jx and I shove. Maybe one of them has 22. whatever. If you run into Axh so be it. SB freaks because he's holding the ace of hearts and can't figure out what to do.

edited because i didnt answer all the questions:

1) normally would check here. Suited flops and paired flops are tricky, and I think I let the initiative go and see what happens.

2)Once two other players are involved I think I make a big raise.

I'm gonna go back and put mid-suited connectors in my opps range and perhaps the SB also flopped a low flush-- but there are a lot of hands that would get freaked out by the action (low flush, sets, two pair)

Re: Interesting hand from 2k today
 

It is hard for UTG+2 to have the king high flush unless he is open limping KThh.

There is really no reason for UTG+2 to be shoving the ace high flush since he has position and it will be tough to not get his stack in after SBs check-raise and while the nuts is certainly in his range I think that it is more likely that he has a set or a baby flush.

I am not sure what UTG+2 would put us on if he has the ace high flush as we are seriously repping a naked Ah. I guess we could have a strangely played J or maybe a pair with the Kh

I call.

(I also lead the flop in the hero's shoes)

I'd donk the first time and go broke after all the shenanigans.

Same. I check the flop too.

I'm happily getting all my chips in on this flop.
