I was remembering a hand from like a year ago today, and I tweaked this to make it more precise when reading the hand.

Home game, 0.5/1 blinds and 1/2 stakes. 10 players. Game is loose and passive, but a few of the players are slightly aggressive, and there's one spot who's very loose, very aggro, and somewhat tricky.

BB hero is a good tag and I'm sitting at the table across from him.

Anyways, early limp, two middle limp, including the lag, button limps, and hero checks.

5 players, 5.5 SB, flop: K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Hero bets, 2 middle players call, button calls.

Turn: 5.75bb, 4 players, 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Hero bets, one fold, lag raises, button calls, hero calls.

River: 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3 players, 11.75bb

Hero bets, lag raises, button folds, hero three-bets, lag folds.

I could be missing a few hands, but I'm pretty sure that we can narrow this down to one hand that's very likely and another that's possible, and a third that's a far outside possibility (not sure if he should play that hand in this manner). Let me know what you think.

If hero plays straightforwardly...

On the flop hero could have K6-KJ, 66, 86, 88, A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]x, A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]x[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], x[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]x[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

On the turn hero could have K6-KJ, 66, 86, 88, A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]x.

On the river hero has A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] x.

edit: added 86 to hand range on flop and turn
