Hand 2

Hand 2: Villain is 19/14/2.8-Large sample

Absolute Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (5 handed) Hand History converter, Courtesy of PokerZion.com
Hero ($290.40)SB ($397)BB ($171.40)UTG ($148)MP ($554.90)
Preflop: Hero is Button with As, Ah. UTG calls $2, 1 fold, Hero raises to $10, SB calls $9, 1 fold, UTG calls $8.
Flop: ($32) 2h, 5s, 8c (3 players)SB checks, UTG bets $12, Hero raises to $32, SB raises to $101, UTG folds, Hero folds.

This is an awesome hand and shows a solid concept. When I get donked into by shorty I am never folding and will be glad to get it in. The great thing about his donk lead is it allows me to make a small raise and get info on where SB is at in the hand. Any action he takes besides folding is going to be alarming. He 3bets and at 1st I am tempted to jam, I might spew my stack here but the crew wouldnt allow me to, majority rules and I think we can clearly see this is a fold. His check 3 bet is so strong it isnt funny and a large part of his range, though very spewy, is small PP.

Final Pot: $177
Results below: No showdown. SB wins $177.

Looks like a very strong play from a pretty tight player...plus he's probably 3-betting his bigger pairs preflop, so that narrows his range down even more to one that has you crushed with the flop line he took.
