2/5 Cash Game Hand » General Discussion

So I made a random late night visit to the casino by my house with a friend sunday night and it probably cost me some amount of skill that I claim to have. Anyways:

Pre-Flop I raise to $27 in late position with AQoff.

Player directly to my left raises it to $101. 

Player to his left(on the button) calls the re-raise. 

Comes back to me and I make the call with about $40 left.

Flop: Q, 4, 4

Obviously I'm pushing. 

Both players call

Turn and River: 9, 9

I turn over my AQoff expecting to see someones AK or KK BUT instead one player mucks and the player on the button turns over 2,4off!!!!!!!!!!

Lets review:

Player on the button calls a $101 pre-flop after there was a raise and a RE-RAISE!

Any thoughts on this to help me understand how and why this happened/happens will be appreciated.

Thanks

The player on the button is really bad and doesnt know how to play poker, he just wants to gamble, is how/why this happened. Poker has variance. As far as preflop goes it doesnt really matter too much if you shove pre or call and shove it on the flop since the last $40 wont effect any decison pre, however the way you played it by calling pre and shoving any flop can actually be better if you think an opponent would actually fold to such a small bet on the flop, after committing alot of money pre, if they miss the board.

Thanks for the inputs. I think I sort of agree with the butchering the hand idea. It was a late night "gambling" session thats for sure and there was a point in my thought proccess that made me just say F it and commit my stack with AQ. 

In the end I would have won in the btn wasn't in the hand.. but I would have been lucky.

oh well.
