We start round 3 playing 75-150. There's a new dynamic at the table as 2 players have less than 2000 in chips and are likely to shove if they have a playable hand. This makes premium hands more valuable and hands like 78s less playable.
Seat 4 raises to 300 and gets calls from 6 and 7. We call from the button with 79s and the blinds call. 6 players see the flop JJ6 with 2 spades. Hmmmm. Everyone checks to seat 6 who bets 1200. Seat 7 folds and we call, looking for a flush. Seat 4 calls and the turn comes Qc. Seat 4 checks and seat 6 pushes all in for 2200. We go into the tank and while we are there Seat 4, evidently not realizing we were in the hand, pushes out his chips calling. He then starts questioning players about whether we had called the prior 1200 wager. So, what do we do? The cheap entry into the hand means either player could actually have higher spades than ours, in which case we are drawing pretty dead. The all in push should be 2 spades or a jack. Even if it's a jack, he could make a full house while I make my flush (or could already have one). The seat 4 inappropriate call is somewhat irrelevant as he thought it was heads up. All we know is his hand is good enough to call the push. Unsure what to do we fold. As it's an all in, they show. Seat 4 has AJh. Solid hand. Seat 6 has K2c. Total bluff. No one had spades. River comes 8h, so we would have missed anyway. Seat 4 took it down.
Seat 3 limps and the Sb limps. We get to see the flop for free from the bb with 46h. Flop comes 359 rainbow (one heart). We have an open ended straight. We bet 325 hoping they will fold but the Sb calls. Turn comes A and he checks. We fire away again with 600 and he calls again. River comes 9. He bets 1100. He is advertising that he hit, but it doesn't matter. We have nothing. We fold.
Everyone folds to us on the button with JQd and we raise to 475. Both blinds call and flop comes A67 with 2 diamonds. They both check and we bet 700. Sb pushes all in for 2300 and bb folds. Hmmm - he probably has an ace, which means we need a diamond. We are about 35% likely to hit the flush and its 1600 to us to win a pot of about 4500. It's basically a toss up. However, there's some chance he has an open ended straight draw or is bluffing, in which cases we are way ahead. We call and he shows A6. He flopped 2 pair. We fish for a diamond on the turn and river but come up empty and he takes it down.
Playing 100-200 Seat 6 raises to 450 and we call from 7 with TQd. The two of us see the flop 57T. He bets 600 and we raise to 1200. He calls. Turn comes 5. He checks and we bet 1800. He calls. River comes 3 and he checks. Not sure what he's calling with. We just check. He shows AT to take it down.
We raise from seat 5 to 475 with AA. Giddey-up. Everyone folds. Wtf? Probably the second time that's happened today and it happened on the AA! Gggrrrrr.
We raise to 475 from seat 3 with 99 and get calls from seat 6 and the bb. Flop comes 45T. Bb bets 600 and we raise to 1200 hoping to take the pot down. Seat 6 folds and the bb calls. Turn comes A and bb bets 1500. If he didn't have us beat on the flop, he does now. We fold.
Seat 7 - very aggressive player - bets 775 and we are on the button with 44. Probably a race if he calls but we raise to 2400 hoping he will fold. He has a huge range of raising hands and hopefully he's on the low end. The blinds fold but seat 7 calls. The turn comes 662. Very unlikely that hit him if he raised and called. He checks. If he has a big pair he would have four bet pre flop. If he had a mid-pair he probably would have bet the flop. He probably has 2 overcards, so we should be a 75% favorite right now. We push in our 8000 chips hoping to just take down the 5000 pot. He calls and shows A6. His range is evidently far broader than I had thought. He has a set of sixes! The turn comes 4 - miracle card giving us a full house, 4s full of 6s. The river comes 2 - horrible card giving him a full house, 6s full of 2s - we are busted. Terrible two rounds!
