Interesting Hand?
Late night 1/2nl at the Winstar. Hero is armed with a $275 stack and a loose aggressive image.
Preflop, 7-handed:
3 limps to Hero, on button, who raises to $12 with 79hh. SB, tired and whining, pushes all in for $25. I go to autofold, but the MP1 limper cold-calls, as does the MP2 limper. As they both cover me, and neither fold preflop (why did I raise again?), I call.
Flop: Ks 7s 3c (~$100 in the pot, effective stacks $250). It checks to me. While weak kings are of course in both MPs' ranges, they won't fold them here. I can't bet middle pair for value, and no better hands are folding (maybe 88/99/TT?) so I elect to check behind.
Turn: 6c. MP1 comes alive and bets $40 at the pot. MP2 instajams all in for $125. While I think MP1 has me beat, he shouldn't be strong if he checked the flop out of position, and he'll have to be REALLY strong to call an all-in by me with two other all-ins already in the pot. MP2's play isn't terrifying: earlier play by him has convinced me that most of his range here consists of strong draws, as he'd have bet a set/two pair/strong K on the flop, and a weak K just doesn't play it this way. So I jam $250 into the $265 flop and feel pretty good about it. MP1 hews/haws/folds.
River: Jh
MP1: AQss
Me: 79hh
BB(ss): 78o
I drag a good-sized pot.
