Hey David, sorry if this new thread is a little too trivial, but the TV Poker thread on the WPT Borgata is a little thin on analysis, and I think this hand is more interesting than your all-ins with 66 and later 55.

At any rate, you were the SB, holding KJo. I don't remember the chipstacks/blinds, but I'm assuming you were the shortstack but you had a little room for maneuverability.

Chris McCormick limps in, you complete, and Mark Newhouse checks. You see a flop of J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Newhizzle leads, C-Mac calls, and you fold. What were your reads on your opponents that made you muck second-pair-top-kicker in that situation when there was no preflop raise?

Obviously your fold looks bad to me and everyone else watching at home when we can see what everyone had. I think Newhizzle's lead was right with 86[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], as he can reasonably expect that neither one of you hit that flop. Likewise, I think C-Mac's call with KTo was more than justified, as he knows Newhizzle is capable of having air, and if he has Jx he has seven outs. And then you fold with the best hand by a mile. Did you think that one of your opponents was slowplaying an Ace preflop?
