Yup - another case of "only the extraordinary sticks". Who remembers AA beating K9o?, You're far more likely to remember when 79s beats KK tho.

Anyway, one pair coming out behind when you see all streets? Hardly something to write home about.

I would just like to add that the use of colour was a welcome relief.

I actually paused to read a few words instead of skimming through it like every other hand history that gets posted every 5 minutes (Aaron and benny the cunt) :P
Pardon me, but I think you'll find that's a shovel. See you next Tuesday!

I think there was an opportunity to get away from this one. On a flop in which very few darwing hands would be in due to the PF raise, its pretty hard to think that QQ would still be in front against two players.

I think that a set would an easyish read to make, or at least AA or KK. There were only 3 hands (99, TT, JJ) that you beat, and you had to hope that both your opponets had 2 of these 3 hands.

Although i do agree that it is def. harder to make this laydown online due to less tank-time and the absence of other information.

Bacon, remember that you are NEVER pot committed in a tournament. If there is a reasonable chance you are beat, fold - no matter how many chips you have already put in the pot.

I don't get this statement. 99+ could throw in a raise. Quite easy to say this with the results posted.

Again, like I said, it sucks that MP2 is behind hero. Btw, AA/KK is not being played like that from either villians.

So you have never flat called a raiser with AA in LP, and then put in a hefty re-raise on a rags flop? Cmon Aaron, i have seen you make this play. Happens all the time and probably moreso with two other people in the pot.

Its not the only way to play AA, and not something i would have done, but i get myself into trouble too many times by discounting hands from a players range just becaus I wouldn't make the same play with those cards.

I would have read the CO as having a set or AA here.

I probably have flatted AA in LP vs one raisier, yes.

Definitely not CO. Flatting two 3x raises, one from UTG? Its clear UTG likes his hand, why not 3b here? I find it hard to believe that MP2 is flatting KK/AA from that early as well. That's not to say it could never happen, but I doubt it.
