Humpalot decided that a suited Ace rag is the hand to go out on in a blaze of glory. Honestly, I do not think you could have bet enough preflop to keep them from calling.

The fish schooled. You were a better than even money favorite preflop against these whackos and you got a 9xBB raise in there. Good call.

While you were ahead on the flop, Madden05 is actually most likely to take the hand at that point. He has a lot of outs and PokerStove says he has 46% equity to your 33%. There is not chance of getting him out of the pot though. Nor, apparently, NancyJety who is looking at 6.9% equity after the flop.

On the turn, you are back on top again. Madden05 has missed his outs and his equity has dropped to 27.5% where yours has risen to 52.5%. Again, at this point, you are more likely to win the hand than the other three players combined.

The River gives it to NancyJety, who was All-In. I would have put out a River bet after Madden05 checked the River. He may have called it with his TP just to see if it held up. But I would have put him on a busted draw and figured that he would not have called anyway.

You got your money in there when you were ahead. There is not much else you can do. Just remember that God looks after children and fools.
