Put him on a hand... WIN a chip!

Well, my last contest was too easy (ended in < a day), but it did lead to some interesting hand discussion. This time, it's a little harder (I think)...

I just feel like giving away chips!


Prize:

One (1) ASM "Donkey KGB" chip (mint condition; fresh out of the box and still dusty); my choice of denomination (will be one of those pictured). Prizes will only be sent to an address in Canada or the continental USA (sorry to those across oceans).




Instructions:

See the following hand histories. They are from 2 consecutive hands at the same table on PartyPoker. Determine the villain's hand in each case (where villain is indicated in red). One guess per hand, per CTer. In order to win, you only need to get 1 of them right (so I'll give away 2 chips). If a single CTer guesses both hands correctly, I'll send a whole 5-chip sampler (as illustrated above). Please number your guesses so I know which hand corresponds to which. Oh, and I'll ignore suits; the card values and whether the cards are suited or unsuited will generally be sufficient. For example, if your guess is pocket deuces, then 22 is sufficient. I don't need you to say 2c 2h specifically. But for non-paired cards, I would like to see "s" or "o" for suited or unsuited... e.g. AKo or AQs, etc.


Necessary information:

I've been multi-tabling and just joined this table; maybe played 1 or 2 orbits. Don't really have any reads on anybody, but it's a very loose and aggressive table from what I can tell by the stats. I've been folding to pre-flop re-raises, but there are often 4 or 5 seeing the flop.

Re: Put him on a hand... WIN a chip!

Comment:

In hand #1, I was shocked that the other 3 players (insta-)folded when the villain pushed. There was already > $20 in the pot before he pushed. Another $5.XX is giving me ~ 5:1 odds... and although I only had top-pair-bad-kicker and was having a really hard time putting him on a hand, I just couldn't fold with those odds.

In hand #2, the check-raise on the river made me say aloud "WTF?". And again, it was a "well, I can't exactly fold now..." moment for me. Besides, I decided that the history of the previous hand was extra incentive to call... although others might have the opposite opinion.

I usually fold in these top-pair-bad-kicker situations... and maybe these opponents had stats on me that suggested this? Or maybe I was a sucker... You decide!
