Figure Out the Hands

This hand was from the 3rd level of my Borgata $300 Limit HE Tournament. I will walk you through the hand, what they both had will be at the bottom. A loose aggressive player brings it in for a raise in the cutoff, as the first one in. The small blind 3 bets, so the big blind folds. Cutoff caps and they see a flop of 5-6-7 rainbow. Small blind checks and the cutoff bets, small blind check raises and it gets capped. So two streets the betting gets capped heads up. Turn is a queen and it goes bet and call by the cut off. The river is a deuce. The small blind leads out, the cutoff raises and the small blind 3 bets. Cutoff calls and they turn over their cards. If this was easy you would think Aces to Kings or Aces to Queens right? Well remember this is early in a limit tournament and people play really weird sometimes? Hmm.... what do they have? The cutoff has pocket fives for a flopped set, he capped with them. The small blind three bet and called a cap pre-flop with the all mighty 8-9 off. He flopped the nut straight. This hand encapsulates the crazy BS I dealt with for the nine hours I lasted in this tournament. I will post some other hands from this tournament tomorrow. Thanks for reading and good luck at the tables. Tony
