This hand was played in a B and M casino. 2/5 limit. Table is LOOSE, but fairly passive, not uncommon to have 5 or 6 people seeing a flop. MP is a bad player, but a not a total moron...SB plays anything and everything he feels like... I saw him bust aces with a 5 3o that he called a raise with earlier.
I am in the BB and get A 5o.
MP raises, there are 2 callers and the SB calls as well, so I decde to call to try to hit my 2 pair, and beat MP if he has AK or AQ.
the flop is a beauiful A 5 2. SB checks, I bet, and MP raises. the two limpers fold, and SB calls and I call, planning to check raise the turn.
the turn is another 2. SB checks, and I check, and MP checks, d'oh...
the river is a 7
Sb bets. Huh? I think for a while about raising, but finally decide just to call as SB could literally have any 2 cards. MP raises. Now I am thoroughly confused...SB calls, so I call as well.
Results:
SB has 2,3 for (three twos)
MP has AA (full house), and takes the pot...
Anything I could have done differently? I think I was getting pretty good odds to call the PF raise, and after that was in trouble.
thanks,
Brett
