4 of a Kind
Playing 1-2 live, six handed. It is the last hand of the night after a seven hour session. There are big winners, big losers and one happy to be out of the mouse trap. The table is loose and moderately aggressive. The last hand could be explosive.
Cast of characters:
Everyone has hundreds or thousands of hours at the table together.
SB has $900. He is semi-loose, fit/fold post flop but tonight he is quite aggressive post flop with modest hands. Up maybe $500. Counting out his stacks.
BB has $1,300 almost entirely profit. Fully LAG, moderately profitable on average. Has been willing to lay down big draws tonight which is really out of character. Not impressed with position.
UTG has $1,200, mostly his buy-ins. Classic calling station, hyper loose and sticky.
MP is old man coffee with $200. He has had a difficult night bleeding hundred dollar bills. I'd count him a little tilty.
Hero is the cut-off with $700. Hero has been a little less selective tonight but he has shown down nothing but reasonable TAG hands when his cards are seen. In general the table feels Hero means business when he takes aggressive action.
Button is a crazy money spewing LAGtard with $400. I can't make a solid guess for how far down crazy is for the night - something in excess of $1,500.
Keep in mind that this is the last hand for the night. Ranges are going to be W I D E.
The hand.
UTG straddles for $12. MP calls $12. Action on Hero holding . Fold, call or raise? If raising, how much and why? (It would be a good assumption that a stiff raise would get more callers than might be expected.)
