I got 78JJds in the SB and there are 5 limpers to me, I complete and the BB raises. Everyone calls so I do too.
Flop is
![The Four of Clubs [4c]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/4c.gif)
, I lead out hoping the BB to raise but he flat calls. UTG raises however, UTG+1 calls and it folds back to me. I re-raise hoping to push out the BB but he calls too, as does UTG and UTG+1.
4 to the turn which is the ugly
![The Ace of Clubs [Ac]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/Ac.gif)
. I check, BB checks, UTG bets, UTG+1 calls, I call, BB calls.
River is the tricky
![The Ace of Spades [As]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/As.gif)
, I check planning on calling any bet (barring a bet, raise, re-raise) however it gets checked around and my hand is good.
Reads:
I'd never seen the BB raise before this hand so I was somewhat leary of AA, except once the river was an A i felt I was most likely up against Axyz with 2 of them being low.
UTG is an utter donk. He calls down with a FD on a AAx board, and he called down with TJQ2 on a 58T flop (the fact that he's even playing hands like TJQ2 should indicate his donklikedness). He also overplays with 2nd or 3rd best hands.
I have no read on UTG+1.
Poker is silly.
It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.
Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.
