BTN: t4055 M = 45.06

Hero (SB): t4220 M = 46.89

BB: t3345 M = 37.17

UTG: t7530 M = 83.67

MP: t5160 M = 57.33

CO: t10690 M = 118.78

Pre Flop: (t90) Hero is SB with Q of hearts Q of clubs

2 folds, CO raises to t180, BTN calls t180, Hero calls t150, BB calls t120

Most of the time I will 3bet in this spot but the CO and the BTN have been rock tight over about 100 hands. Having them both in a raised pot smells like trouble. So I decide to see a flop, planning to probably check-fold most flops. The BB has been playing very loose so far. His call is as expected.

Flop: (t720) 4 of hearts 8 of hearts 8 of clubs (4 players)

Hero checks, BB bets t500, CO folds, BTN folds, Hero calls t500

A donk-bet by the BB and the two rocks folding is a beautiful recipe for taking down a big pot. We are too deep-stacked for me to raise. I don't want to get check-raised by a silly flush draw or something.

Turn: (t1720) J of spades (2 players)

Hero checks, BB bets t2665 all in, Hero calls t2665

Another beautiful sequence for my hand. A safe card on the turn and the fish overbetting the pot. Here I'm very confident. Or he has a four and got scared of the Jack or he has hit his Jack (by surprise) and is going nuts. Either way I got him beat.

River: (t7050) K of diamonds (2 players - 1 is all in)

Final Pot: t7050

Hero shows Q of hearts Q of clubs (two pair, Queens and Eights)

BB shows 8 of spades 9 of clubs (three of a kind, Eights)

Bye bye, dreams...

BB wins t7050
