There haven't been regular high stakes PLO games running lately, so when I can catch some of the action I like to share it.  I captured 10 hands where opponents were all in and thus showed their hole cards.  I'll let you decide if these hands are standard for the super charged aggressive high stakes environment or not, but I find them interesting nonetheless.  I keep trying different formats for presentation, especially in light of the harder to access hand histories on Full Tilt.

Hand 1: Four handed
Ziigmund is dealt Kd Ks Qh 2s UTG
Trex313 is dealt As 9c 7c 4s in the BB
Trex313 opens with a 3x raise, which is reraised 3.3X by Ziigmund and called by Trex313
Flop - 9s 10s 10h
Ziigmund pots 8k with an overpair and gutter, Trex313 goes all in for 15k with two pair and backdoor nut FD
Turn - 6s
River - 8c
Trex313 doubles with a straight

If I'm Trex313, I fold the flop, but he did have 44.4% equity against Ziigmund's actual hand but probably not against his range.

Hand 2: Five handed
Ziigmund is dealt Ks 10d Js Jc on the button,
John Juanda is dealt As Ad 2h 10s in SB
Ziigmund bets 3x pot, call by John Juanda, call by OMGclayaiken in BB
Flop - Kc Qd 4h
check, check, check
Turn - 7s
John Juanda leads out for  90% pot, called by Ziigmund
River - Kh
JJ bets 10k into 15k pot and called by Ziigmund, who wins the $35k pot with trips

Thin value bet by John Juanda.

Hand 3:  Four handed
Trex313 is dealt Qc Qh 3h 3s on button
John Juanda is dealt 7c 7s 10s 10c in SB
Trex313 3x pot bet, John Juanda 3 bets in SB, and called
Flop - 7h Qs 5c
John Juanda donk led pot, Trex313 reraises him all in for double that amount and called
Blank turn and river.

Trex313 wins set over set.

Hand 4: Four handed
Brian Hastings is dealt As Qh Jh 9h UTG
Gus Hansen is dealt 6d 4h 7d 6h in BB
Brian Hastings 3x raise, Gus Hansen calls
Flop - 8h qd 7h
Gus Hanse donk leads pot, Brian Hastings reraises pot, Gus Hansen pushes for 1k more, call
Blank turn and river and Brian Hasting holds

Light lead and call from Gus with low flush draw, 3rd pair, and gutter (he had 36% equity)

Hand 5: Four handed

Brian tries a turn steal when shown weakness, but Gus calls down with trips

Hand 7: Four handed

Some of those hands are truly donk hands. LOL. Great examples of the play that the noise bleed tables proceed with. Keep em coming. X
