Waiting on Fed to kick some ass, so I'll give ya a go

Ad8d vs 8h8c intrigues me here, this option makes the least sense, which means it actually makes the most sense b/c the HH as played makes ZERO sense. My biggest drawback on this hand and the K9o vs. 77 option is that I'm not certain how often (or how optimal) the BB is 3betting these hands PF, specifically his reaction vs. a minraise.

8s7s vs AdQd makes sense postflop, although I doubt you're 4betting 87s, make it 87o and I like this option a lot more.

QQ vs QQ makes sense in the fact that:

a. PF makes sense
b. 2 medium-strength showdown hands which get to a river. BB realized BTN is value-betting thin, doesn't think he'll make a tough call.

Ruling out you holding AK,KK,89o b/c of flop/turn action (and PF sometimes too with AK) and KsJs b/c of PF as well (same reasoning w/ 87s, hands play better as a flat in my mind at least).

fuck this shit, let's just go grab some sushi in LV!

!



You could be right about this.

I just think BB having QQ on the river is the perfect card to simply c/c, so I think I want to rule out all QQ for BB.

I think Button will bet any K by the turn, so rule out all K's forbutton, including KK.
I think Button would definitely bet 89 on turn if he had it, so rule out 89.

So now we're left with my choice from before and:

Btn: QQ, BB: AKhh I think this option actually makes some sense, given stack sizes, that BB can show up with AK here and he turns hearts and doesn't feel the need to lead here. River QQ finally goes for some value and AK c/bombs.

Btn: Ad8d, BB:88 This option also makes some sense, though I feel like Btn would still bet this hand the majority of the time onthe flop, regardless of how much is behind. This hand is possible though, and BB decides to turn 88 into a bluff on the river which seems valid.

I think if I was going to change my vote I'd actually change it to A) now, since I think its more likely that AKhh chooses to flat OOP given stacks pre, than the nut FD not betting this flop. It's close between those two though, and I cancel my 8s7s vote.

what about 97s, some people flat those to 3bs, but I don't know whether op would (actually this deep he would)

button can obviously have QQ/JJ as well because BB's raise wouldn't be QQ so QQ=JJ here I think

BB probably has diamonds and button is repping 7x but may just have nothing. I hate preflop though if the button actually has a 7 in his hand.

He's calling the 4bet OOP, this can't be 77, 88, 87s, QJs. I hate to be the nit of the bunch, but it really seems like AA (BB) and KK (BU) are the most likely holdings and the river raise is just a bluff shove.

Very nice spenda, very very nice. You outplayed some serious sharks in this hand. I would of course never 4bet 87s this deep in position, just like you said. I also can't understand why people think I would slowplay the flop or the turn.

I think 3betting 66-99 is fine if you want to maintain a maniac image, but it just sucks so bad to be 4bet this deep.

Nah, he needs all the help he can get to knock me out of my superior placing in the leader board.

Edit: In before Stacks makes some stupid comment about how he's in 1st even though his luckbox ass should have been rightfully knocked out by me in the 3rd game and even though he's played more games than me so suck it tagfish!!!

Edit #2: Also in before he makes reference to that damn 67o hand or the T8o vs T7s hand.

Your such a hater. And I was peer pressured into playing the PLO tourney, which I have no PLO experience whatsoever. So given my terrible score in that, you might just have a shot. I mean I doubt it because I'm going to busto your candy ass in the nlhe event later tonight, but who knows? Maybe you will run good one time?

My comment is still valid: it should be obvious that I don't 4bet 87s. The same isn't true for A8s, regardless of whether your statement holds, which I think it does.

yeah its tough to put you on a flush here, since the standard 4bet range are big hands and raggy offsuit air.

his shove seems pretty terrible since you are only gonna have air or a hand thats never folding when you bet that amount (for that reason i don't really care for your size). He should have just called if he wanted to get fancy.

I agree 100%, and I don't quite get some of the comments to the opposite.
