Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

UTG ($98.50)
MP ($124.85)
Button ($178.20)
Hero ($178.15)
BB ($94)

Preflop: Hero is SB with T, J. Hero posts a blind of $0.50.
2 folds, Button calls $1, Hero (poster) completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($3) 9, 9, 7 (3 players)
Hero bets $2, BB folds, Button calls $2.

Turn: ($7) 8 (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $6.65, Hero calls $6.65.

River: ($20.30) 2 (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $8.98, Hero calls $168.50 (All-In), Button calls $159.52.

Final Pot: $357.30

What hands do you think call this check push? I was hoping villian had full house or Ace high flush.

Results in white below:
Hero has Tc Jc (straight flush, jack high).
Button has 6c 5c (straight flush, nine high).
Outcome: Hero wins $357.30.

jackvance is an unknown quantity at this point
 If you played this in one of those bad beat jackpots, you would have made some good money

Anyone who calls that check-raise with the ace of clubs needs to move to the play money tables before he goes broke.

I dont really like your play, you bet flop, and then check/call the turn and check/push the river, that shows a lot of strength and I would be surprised to see a lone Ac calling here very often. A full house is definitely calling here but you have no way of knowing what he could have since you played the turn so passively. If I check the turn then Im going to be betting that river wthout a read on villain that makes me essentially positive he will the river when checked to.

I was gonna nominate this for the badbeat hall of fame... but is this really a bad beat... more like variance from hell.
Success is how high you bounce after hitting bottom.

Andy-akb I was about 75% sure villian was going to bet the river when checked too. His river aggression was very high (over 50%) plus I thought my line might look like a bluff. He value bet the river which from a post flop manaic tells me that he wanted a call. I could have reraised to $20 or $25 but I figured there was at least a 33% chance he would call the push for a $50 profit on average.

Why the sudden passivity once you hit the turn?

And once you check/call the turn, certainly, you would bet the river? Why no bet on the river? Just a check-SUPER RAISE?

if you bet into the turn, more hands will pay you off. Maybe not for your stack, but you're winning a hell of a lot more from the A since he'd have to be very weak to call the river check-push.

Smithers, use the amnesia ray.
You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.
