I stole this hand from 2+2. Seems to me Hero played it well.

I'd say you're at least getting quartered, but unless three other players have 34, you're ending up ahead at the end of the hand.

I don't really see it either. He has almost no chance of scooping but he had an excellent draw to the nut low and the 7 on the turn locked up the board for him. It looks like he's getting paid no matter what so I would play it the same way. What were the 2+2 board's criticisms?

True, he might be getting quartered, but he's only putting in a quarter of the pot. I think this is one opportunity to go nuts, and hope 2 of the 4 are sharing A2, and nobody else has 34. heads up, call down on the river.

Maybe the river 3-bet was over the top, but it seems pretty clear to me. He's getting paid the whole way even if he just quarters.

What you really want is to get a lengthy reply from Buzz at 2+2, or email him to reply that thread.

Pre-flop, I may have re-raised there, to make it a tough call for all those early limpers to play. Depends on the table though. Easy call at the least.After the flop - nice check-raise there.After the turn - another check/raise? I would have led out.On the river - I'm too lazy to do the math, but it appears that even if we are quartered here, we would be ahead, no?
