[RealMcCoy]

Recap / Analyze /Critique 3 hands from a recent WSOPC EVENT

Situation Mid tourney 50% gone
1) HERO Starting chips 2000 Current Chips 4600 level 100/200 no ante been at same table all day

Villain #1 (straight forward fairly tight weak) chips 3300 first position raises to 700

HERO Folded to Hero in cutoff With AK off suit - Hero flat calls

Villain # 2 BB (Good player knowledgeable tends to LAG style but NOT reckless) after two minutes pushes.
Initial chip count by dealer is stated as $2450 for the All in -
Villain # 1 "Calls" the all in - Hero asks again and he states "I'M just calling" Dealer recounts chips and the actual RAISE AMOUNT is $2750 to $3450 which puts Villain #1 all in regardless.

HERO analysis
Villain #1 comfortable from the talk that Villain #1 has TT JJ or less likely AQ/AK but sure he does not have AA OR KK. He would have made sure he attempted to raise with either AA OR KK

Villain #2 is perfectly capable of making this move from the BB with any mid high pairs TT JJ QQ and obviously with AA or KK.

Pot is now $7500 with a raise of $2750 to me to call. HERO Calls

Villain #1 JJ
Villain #2 QQ
Hero AK off

Results (not that they matter King flops Queen turns) Villain #2 wins pot.
