Default Preparing for hand reading challenge #2

If you liked the first one, then you should help make the second one good.

PM me hands that you think might be interesting for hand-reading. Send them unconverted so that it's easier for me to format how I want it, and both 6-max and full ring hands are acceptable. Generally speaking, I'm looking for hands with the following properties:

1) They are played correctly (from a standard play point of view). If you limped J7o UTG like a donk, then hand-reading is boring because you cannot be read. Similarly, sending me a hand where you double check-raise bluffed someone off their hand because you were on tilt isn't interesting.
2) There is interesting action. This means that you should generally not be sending hands where you raise AK preflop and value bet TPTK all the way to the end, getting no resistance.
3) There are no crazy reads required to make sense of the hand, or crazy reads are provided.

As you're looking for hands to send me, here are some tips:

1) Look for flops that were taken multi-way (PT can filter these out for you). These tend to lead to hands that are easier to read because hero has fewer options for his best play.
2) Look at hands that you limped from SB. This puts you in interesting spots where betting, check-calling, and check-raising are all viable options, which makes hand reading more interesting and challenging.
3) They don't have to be hands where you made it to showdown. If you look at the previous one, the action was always stopped on the turn.

With luck, we'll have another hand reading challenge posted in the next week or two.
