A supposedly fun hand I'll never play again

I wound up in this $2,192.45 pot that I almost won. So close. But I like my play in the hand.

Just before the hand started, the MP1 player says he's going to leave to play 5/10 NL.

"Or go all in first who knows," he wrote in chat. "And lose."

Party Poker ($6 no limit). Hand converted by Check Raised hand converter



Preflop (9 players): Hero is BTN with

2 folds.

MP1 raises $12.00.

3 folds.

HERO calls ($12.00).

1 fold.

BB calls ($6.00).



Flop (6.5 bets ($39) in pot, 3 players):



BB checks.

MP1 bets $30.00.

HERO raises $100.00.

BB calls ($100.00).

MP1 raises $239.31 (All in).


MP1: "Big hand. It will get cracked."

At this point, I feel like I have enough information to put this guy on an overpair. I don't know where I stand in relation to the BB player, but I feel like he's on a draw, and I'm pretty damn sure I have MP1 beat.

HERO raises $872.30 (All in).

BB calls ($815.34).





Turn (365.99 bets ($2195.95) in pot, 3 players):







River (365.99 bets ($2195.95) in pot, 3 players):





Summary:





MP1 has Three of a kind, Kings [ ]



BB has Flush, King high [ ] and won $2135.49 (177.96bb)



HERO has Two pair, Eights and Sixes [ ] and won $56.96 (4.75bb)



For what it's worth, here's the breakdown when all the money went in, according to twodimes.net.

I didn't get my money in with the best of it, but I made good reads and acted on them. In addition, I had enough equity to show a profit in the long run by pushing my two pair.

That big pot sure would have been nice though.

Yeah, it's not the best two pair you could have but you're certainly protecting your hand with the all-in bet. You'll only get called by someone with a better hand or tons of outs, as the case turned out.
