 Very interesting hands with what looks like a tricky player in MP2.

I'm going to guess MP2 has KJ. Thats a hand you would raise PF in a short-handed game in position, as well as raise the flop to chase out all draws. He could also have JJ or KK or AA, all likely given his betting. Slow playing JJ on the turn will undoubtedly give him plenty of bets on the river. If he had KK he got lucky.

SB could have anything, a passive JJ, J6, J7, or even 77. If he had the straight though he would have capped his nuts on the river. SB would not 3-bet here with only a gutshot and back-door flush draw, so he's got something good.

I bet you or SB wins the hand with trips. MP2 has 2 pair which he foolishly got trapped into calling down to the river, where he spike his second pair.

Given all the action do you still think you're ahead? Would a 3-bet on the river be wise? This pot is huge and you are a favorite to win. I would have done the same as you though.

i think....
MP2 = KK

SB = 77 of JJ?
if SB is LP he wouldn't be so aggressive with an OESD...so he probably hit the higher set.

Why not cap the flop? Waiting for MP2 to do it?

SB has AJo

I think MP2 has AK although I could just as easily buy KK for them.

Can't wait to see the results for this one.
