Results below:

Spoiler

Button had 8, 8 (full house, eights over Aces).
Hero didn't show A, 7 (three of a kind, Aces).
MP2 had 9, A (three of a kind, Aces).
Outcome: Button won t2,525, MP2 won t654

Not a brilliant hand by me but thought there are missed flush draws out there, maybe also weaker aces. Any suggestions?

Stats on villains are really important for this situation. If MP2 doesn't have a high VPIP then I would c/f this river. He is going to show a better Ax hand a lot of the time and after BTN calls it is a clear fold to me. If MP2 checks and BTN shoves then I would call as I have seen a lot of players make plays like this when they have pocket pairs and the board has paired. Players on these limits will shove all-in to bluff bet the river on a missed draw, they would not bet half-pot. Tough hand and I woulnd't beat yourself up for playing it the way you did.

I think you played good until the river. If one guy would shove and the other folds - I would snap call, but since they both got all in, seems that your A is not so strong here. There's also an option to check on the turn, and take a look what they are going to do, that way you might be able to fold much easier on the river, if they bet the turn.

Hello all,

I think you played good until the river. If one guy would shove and the other folds - I would snap call, but since they both got all in, seems that your A is not so strong here.

+1 with this. Up to the river is fine. On the river against the two players I prefer to make a tight fold. I also think often one of them got stronger ace or better.

Guys if you have any questions, do not hesitate to write in this thread by clicking the button or

Best regards,
