Monsters

I witnessed this hand in a FreeRoll tournament on Empire Poker.

Blinds (200/400) – 8 players

UTG folds, UTG+1 raises 800, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, CO folds, Button calls 800, SB raises 1000, BB folds, UTG+1 raises 800, Button calls 800, SB calls 400

Flop

5sKc8c

SB checks, UTG+1 is All-In, Button is All-In, SB is All-In

Turn

Th

River

Qs

SB shows AsAd a pair of aces. UTG+1 shows AcKd a pair of kings. Button shows KsKh three of a kind, kings.

SB wins 5302 chips with a pair of aces. Button wins 9976 chips with three of a kind, kings.

I don’t think I could have folded any of those hands after the flop either. AcKd was dominated the whole way. The only way he was going to win the hand was with a flush or straight. Ouch!

Home Poker Articles

Over the next few weeks I’ll be writing a series of articles for Professional Poker Online. They’ll go over the aspects to setting up your own home poker game. I’m pretty excited about the opportunity. The first article, published today, gives some introductory information and then discusses choosing ring games or tournaments for your home game.
