I would like some thoughts on this hand I saw. MTT; 2 out of the nine players are in it; the Button and the Big Blind, both with about equal stacks. 50/100 blinds
So, the button raises a standard 3x (300) after folded to. The SB folds. The BB re-raises (900) . Button flat calls the extra 600. It is now heads up. Pot is now 1850.
Flop is: 6h Ad Jh
BB bets out 616.
Button raises to 1850.
BB flat calls 1232 more. Pot now is 5548.
Turn is a brick; 3s
BB goes all in; 3010; pot is now 8558
Button calls 3010
BB shows QsQd - one pair, Queens
Button shows Kh5h - K high flush draw.
Button: I guess K-rag suited is not too bad to call a re-raise with if HU in position with it (K high is good against a single random hand, or so I have heard, especially suited and in position). It looked to me like the button had to be thinking the BB had an ace in his range, but the flop c-bet was pretty standard, thus the re-raise. After just a flat call by the BB, what should that have told the button? If holding a set, no flop bet - you would slow play to trap; if holding an AK (A hand the BB would re-raise with pre flop), top pair/top kicker, why not shove right there with that if you have it to prevent a draw? So it looked like an draw, flush or st8, An ace would be the re-raise range pre flop, but was not the action of such a hand on the flop after being raised. (or was it?) So it looked like a bluff maybe? Still, after a shove on the turn, the pot odds did not warrant a call for just a flush draw.
BB: It looked to me like the BB was trying to rep a hand that did not make sense; Trips or top pair. But when he was re-raised on the flop by the first raiser (who flat called his pre flop raise, saying ace-something range, I would think), facing a possible over-pair and a flush draw, why then shove the turn? The button did not have an ace, which surprised me. I thought maybe top pair and a flush draw. Would you have called that button raise on the flop facing a possible better pair and or a flush draw OOP?
So it looked to me like an loose/over aggressive button (immovable object) who maybe got pot committed and ran across a lose aggressive/calling station type (unstoppable force) of player.
What do you guys think?
