Default Re: Who played this hand worse?

I see hands like this multiple times daily. It wouldn't even cross my mind as being strange when the hands were opened.

Default Re: Who played this hand worse?

MP3 rasied 10% of his stack PF on a weak ace... not the greatest move but there have been worse mistakes.

Maybe he didn't expect the button to call the check raise? Not sure but it looks as if he played weak to induce a steal and then snapped the trap shut... but then the button called instead of the expected fold. I can't imagine someone playing 2 pair with a check raise small enough that they expected a call because when the J fell it could have been disasterous considering most hands that could have called the CR. Personally, I'd have pushed on the CR rather than only raise another 560. End it now, take the 560 and be happy you didn't give him a chance to out draw you.

Once the J fell after the CR had been called, I'd have to feel my read on the button was dead on before I'd go all in like that. It was either the result of high confidence in his read (not likely online) or temporary insanity.

The button has been watching way too much poker on TV. AI on 2nd pair and a gutshot with one card to come? Please send him to my table... please?
