These are not all my laydowns.

One of them is mine. You pick which one. All are true stories, all are hands that I was dealt in. Not that I had the AA or KK but I was sitting at the table. Each hand has players with AA and KK.

Assume player 1 is first to act and that player 2 has position the entire hand.

1.)

Player 1 ($2/5) $2300 KK

Raises to $30, Player 2 $1500 raises $100, player 1 re-pops to $300. Player 2 calls.

Flop

AK3 no flush.

Player 1 checks, Player 2 pushes.

Player shows his KK and announces that he put the guy on aces when he smooth called. Player 2 shows his set of Aces.

2.)

$1/3

Player 1 $600 calls pre-flop with AA. Player 2 raises to $15 with $250 behind. Player 1 makes it $100.

Player 2 goes to the tank and folds KK. Player 1 shows the AA and says he may be able to make that laydown himself if he didn't have a job and could play poker all day.

3.)

$1/3

Player 1 makes it $15, and Player 2 raises to $30. Player 1 bumps it up to $75, Player 2 pushes all in for $800 which is about what Player 1 has.

Player 1 pauses for a while then decides to muck showing his KK. Player 2 shows his AA and says that it was a great fold, and asks if he would have called if he only raised it another $100.

So which hand is mine?

1 is impossible. Talk about dodging bullets.

Hand 2 is you.

I can tell you for sure that none are me.

Hand number one makes my head hurt. OMG!!!!

Hand number 2 seems like you to me for some reason, although I think hand number three telegraphs the AA the most.

Hand 1, I hope it's not you. The terribleness of that fold is equal to the unlikelihood of it having been right.

Hand 2, of these 3, I think if you're going to fold KK pre, do it here. Player 1 re-raised too much.

Hand 3, I think is you. This looks like a, "I'll stack him when he's drawing dead rather than put it all in pre when it looks like he's got Aces."

[yeltzen]

Hand #3 seems to be the easiest, so that would be my guess. But I think that's too easy. Still, I'm sticking by it!

[Harlequin011]

I was hand 2.


Hand 1 was a spunky younger kid with KK that dressed like a thug but had serious game. The other was a local pro who is solid as a rock.


Hand 3. Was a total surprise between to crazy LAGS!

The first laydown is just sick. The guy must have picked up a tell besides just "putting him on Aces when he smooth called".

I would agree with this statement...
I bet the guy with AAs was eating Oreo's !!!

The first scenario happened to me a few weeks ago. Unfortunately I suck at poker and figured my second nut flopped set was good and pushed with it. Good by $1650 pot.

Just out of curiosity, what hands do you guys think could push the AK3r flop? I mean he re-raised and called the 3-bet, I wouldn't do that with less than QQ+ AK. AK would have top-two but has to be worried about the other guy slow playing a set, and only one king in the deck so its the least likely hand I guess. Would be weird for QQ to push into a flop that has two over cards. Then again I always 3-bet push kings so I wouldn't be in that spot
