Speaking of 57…

So in my last “woe is me” post I’d mentioned that KK went down to 57o after he’d called two bets cold. But this has to take the cake:

Paradise Poker 2/4 Hold’em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with Jc, Js.
1 fold, Hero raises, UTG+2 calls, MP1 3-bets, MP2 caps, 4 folds, BB calls, Hero calls, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls.

Flop: (20.50 SB) 9h, 6c, Ad (5 players)
BB checks, Hero checks, UTG+2 checks, MP1 bets, MP2 raises, BB calls, Hero calls, UTG+2 folds, MP1 3-bets, MP2 calls, BB calls, Hero calls.

Turn: (16.25 BB) Kh (4 players)
BB checks, Hero checks, MP1 bets, MP2 calls, BB folds, Hero folds.

River: (18.25 BB) 8h (2 players)
MP1 bets, MP2 raises, MP1 calls.

Final Pot: 22.25 BB
Main Pot: 22.25 BB, between MP2 and MP1. > Pot won by MP2 (22.25 BB).

MP1 has Ac Kc (two pair, aces and kings).
MP2 has 5d 7c (straight, nine high).
Outcome: MP2 wins 22.25 BB.

Capping pre-flop and raising on the flop with the gutshot draw. Wow. Simply wow. I think this is the guy who later busted out, but still, what was going through that cold-blooded brain stem of his?

  1. Ha! I did something almost exactly like that last night. Here is the hand history and my thinking. I really think I was tired, having a bad session, and just trying to hit something. Go see my blog for details.
