Hand of the day

This hand is remarkable for several reasons
First off, the villains are both nits
Secondly, because of that I would almost always fold this.
Thirdly, I almost never cold call

I did here because I had them figured for high pairs, or AQ+
I thought that with the right flop, I could get at least one stack, and being in position, I could exit gracefully if necessary w/o too much cost.

More surprises:
I was reasonably certain that there would be no made straights.
TT or 99 was a bit of a worry, but I still have outs for a full house if my shove gets called.
tbh, though I was expecting folds.

@VorpalF2F nice one nits but just preflop

First time I've ever seen this, really happy with my fold, button is a NIT thought his play looked a lot like a set on the flop or maybe A high FD.

masa, actually in this hand, don't you think it was correct for him to bring it in? He would be clearly up vs set or maybe twopair/AA** and indeed be in very good shape 3ways (tough CO does not have a full stack)

wow, NICE masa!

well yeah, this hand kinda played itself. he has to get it in i think. was also obv worried about someone having KKxx and having me drawing almost dead. wouldnt be nice to put more than 1000bbs into pot drawing less than 10%. but i think that sb would bet a lil smaller, with KKxx and certainly not just instapot it like he did.

+11BI profit in 1 hand ... daaaamn

Sometimes I guess the fish just get bored.....

What must have been frustrating for the villains is that they stole each other's outs.

This was a hand even I could figure out how to play.

Sometimes, spending my meagre brain power trying to range villains seems just a little redundant.
