I dont like the call pf here. I don't have the numbers, but I doubt its +EV to call a raise out of the SB with small suited connectors. You got 4 to the flop so maybe I am wrong, but I typically let these go here.

You hit the miracle flop, and I think there is nothing much you can do ifferently. I am assuming UTG+1 has a high PP, MP2 looks like he is drawing at the 4th hrt, so this would scare me if a heart hits turn or river....if I am right, I am guessing he also has a small piece of board so he makes a crying call on river when he misses his draw.

Alex,

Why are we reading a boat here? He's been raising since before the flop and then comes out and raises it up after the flop on a small board. I think this guy is probably your avergae donk who refuses to think he can lose with AA or KK. Maybe he has a heart in there also so he feels good enough to disregard the three hearts.

Would he really have raised 78 pre-flop from utg+1? 88? 77?

It turns out that MP2 had AJo and just couldnt let it go!

Seriously, I cant believe he called all that and then called the river. I was thinking he had Pocket 8s or 7s at one point and I know the preflop call was bad. Im experimenting.....

I also thought about the ace high flush but the read I had on MP2 was that he was raising most things down to ATo so it was quite unlikely from how he had been playing. I must admit I got lucky and could have easily have been up against a higher flush, boat or even quads from the way that it played out, if another heart had hit I was folding my hand, I think thats what UTG + 2 had (a single high heart)

Dizzy, really work on your starting hands, the others have excellent points about calling with weak hands especially out of position.

Post flop I think is really good, you got a dream flop, It is unlikely that UTG+1 flopped much of anything except maybe a bigger flush draw along with an overpair. MP2 is a little worrisome, the way he is just calling, any reads?

Actually you played the hand well post flop, I probably would have slowed down on the turn though, especially without reads.

Only reason I played it was because I was majorly up for the session I know we shouldnt but we all do it...

Dream flop couldnt agree more felt like I wanted to push all in, then remembered this is Limit, ha!

The paired board scared me a lot, Ive taken some notes on who called the hand since they really had nothing and I want to take more from them next time. I have reads on them now...
