I dedicate this hand to all of you who helped me with my Aladdin hand from below. Thank you!
Party Poker $25 max No-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)
Button ($17.35)
SB ($25.55)
BB ($25)
UTG ($17.55)
UTG+1 ($52.71)
MP1 ($51.05)
MP2 ($20.45)
Hero ($28.8)
CO ($26.5)
Preflop: Hero is MP3 with , .
UTG calls $0.50, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls $0.50, MP2 folds, Hero raises to $2, CO calls $2, Button folds, SB (poster) folds, BB calls $1.50, UTG folds, MP1 calls $1.50.
( I decide to raise to try to narrow the field some. It doesn't work so hot here and I'm not happy with the result. MP1 pauses for a bit before calling my raise. )
Flop: ($8.75) , , (4 players)
BB checks, MP1 bets $6, Hero calls $6, CO folds, BB folds.
(If MP1 is betting out this strong, there's a good chance he has two pair, but I'm not quite convinced of it yet. I decide to call and see what his action is on the turn but if I don't improve to at least a spade redraw I'm going to lay it down.)
Turn: ($20.75) (2 players)
MP1 is all-In [$43.05]
Hero is all-In [$20.8]
(Then the perfect card for me comes and I can't hit the call button fast enough. Obviously MP1 failed to notice the ace as he was too excited about his two pair.)
River: ($59.35) (2 players)
Final Pot: $59.35
MP1 shows two pairs, kings and jacks.
Hero shows two pairs, aces and kings.
