Adjustable Keyboard Tray
In this episode, your hero, Adjustable Keyboard Tray, makes a monster read at a live 5/10 limit game and gets paid off.

After getting dealt 42o under the gun 4 orbits in a row, I decide the time has come to raise it up.

UTG+1 calls my raise, and a good player in MP 3 bets. 2 more calls, I cap (I AM A ROCK), MP calls, and two callers come along to see the flop of AK8, all hearts.I bet to see where I am at, MP raises, folds to me, and since I have a duece high flush draw , I 3 bet. MP caps.

I am putting MP on 3 hands, AA, KK, or AK. No matter which one he has, he can't have a flush draw I've played with MP enough to know that he is not capping on a monotone flop without a huge hand. Thats trips, or two pair at the minimum, and eather way, he can't hit a flush. He may cap with a flush draw, but the only other hand I could put him on that would 3 bet preflop bet that would also give him a draw big enough to cap on that flop was QQ, and I just don't feel it.

Turn is a duece. I bet, he raises I call

River is a non pairing heart. I bet, he raises, I 3 bet, he calls. He rolls over his trips aces. My duece of hearts is so good, and I scoop a monster pot, all because I am a rock.

I honestly can't tell if you actually think you made a good play or if you are joking here...Either way if you are a rock and he's still raising you every chance he has a monster so the extra raises on the flop and turn are just spewing with a 2 high flush draw. Also, raising with 24o UTG is just a terrible play in limit holdem no matter what table image you have especially at a table where so many people are obviously willing to call preflop raises.

I don't know how he calls the 3-bet on the river, it should be obvious that you have 24o with the 2 of hearts.....DUH!!!!!!
