Hard to tell--you're defending your blind from a SB raiser. Hell, you could be playing 74o at that point.

On the flop, you raise and cap the betting. The flush card on the river doesn't scare you at all, as your check-raise shows.

You probably have either the and another diamond for the nut flush, or KK, 66, 33, K8, or 86 for a full house, or 88 for quads.

I love 17.7 BB pots.

[Nortonesque]

66, 86, 88, [5d], or [7d]. I only like the river check if hidemoge is very aggressive.

Unreal probably had AK

Well, piers interesting as always.

I have a tough time putting you on an absolute monster since your raise on the flop was such that you would scare away customers. Would you raise it there with a flush draw, or an openender flush draw even? Eh-- I dunno with a field of four people, you can sort of anticipate this thing is going to the river, so you might try and make your hand for cheap, right? Of course, if you had the nut flush draw and you ended up with all that action, not capping it would be a sin. But would you raise it in the position? Do you have fold equity in that pot? Ehh... I dunno. I mightve done it. So MAYBE you have the nut flush draw. My guess is that you did NOT have a set probably, otherwise youd have slow played it a little more than than you did... maybe gone for a monster field CR on the turn when the guy ahead of you was jammin it with you.

My guess is you had a big hand that was at the same time vulnerable to other hands, like even AK maybe. So, i am forced to put you on the MIGHTY , and the other guy on the nut diamond draw which of course got there (Unfortunately for him) maybe .

Now that is one possibility. The other possibility is you were engaging in mizorly conduct with the nut diamond draw yourself, and hoping to milk every percentage point of fold equity you had in the pot by firing into the field with it. I love that move!

HOwever, i just dont think so. I think you probably had your hand made on the turn and the flush was drawing dead, and since there were two other people in the action with you, you probably figured someone else had the diamond draw so you went for the CR.
A monster CR it was on the river by the way.

NIHAN!

I say you had either 68 or K8, with 68 being a little more likely. I dont think youd have played a set quite so fast....maybe not even top 2, but thats more likely than a set. But like i said, im going to go with a piers BB defender special, 86sooooooooooooted.

Without seeing stats on anyone =( All my guesses seem so obvious, when I think you're going to surprise us all with some weird hand we weren't expecting. Oh well.

unreal had AK, sure, it could have been AA. But in my experience, people almost always will showdown AA, even if it's hopeless, for just one more bet. He may have had the as well.

hidemoge I think has a flush, could have been a really good draw like , or it could have been two random diamonds. hard to say.

I tend to think you had 86, But it could have been any boat.
