$5-$10 6-max Limit game on Full Tilt, a hand that almost put me on full tilt.On the CO I'm dealt K K . The absolute maniac on the BB, who has been playing every conceivable hand possible, three-bets me. To me, his three bet means he has a monster like KQ, so I cap it, and he calls with one other MP player. Flop comes down Q 7 3 . I bet, maniac-donkey raises, I three bet, he caps, and MP folds. I'm thinking he has a Q or 7 and is looking for his kicker (an ace?) to pair. Turn is 2 . He bets and I raise, and he calls. River is 9 . He bets, and I raise, thinking that there is no way he paired a kicker (even donkeys wouldn't three bet Q9, right?) or managed anything more than a pair of queens. He three bets it, and I call. Amazingly, he does beat my KK, and the $190 pot and part of my sanity slide over to him.Hint: this is not some conventional set beating overpair hand, and it won't be easy to guess what he cracked my kings with.

Yeah, he's got two diamonds, though I couldn't tell you what they were.For the sake of guessing, I'll say 73 , which would obviously mean you were actually behind the whole time.

79 suited obviously.

Well I'd three bet 7-9 suited if I was nutbarring... but not at that limit.. I certainly hope you got it beat by 7-9 suited though I mean what hand would you rather lose too? Honestly... Its the silent Killer, you never see the 7-9 coming...

The extra emphasis in the post and tilt factor makes me think it was 72 offsuit 2-pairing your ass on the turn.

[Random Fluke]

From the betting it looks like he made his hand on the river to me, so I'd guess 79s or maybe 23diamonds. I'm guessing he made either a flush or second pair on the river, or maybe even was holding 99. Yup, donks like this can be painful.

Gotta agree with Awful. He dropped the Hammer on you.Mensch

[Wily]

Wow, good guesses so far, considering how bizarre and random my opponent's hand was. You guys are giving him far too much credit on the flop though! A 9-7 on that flop is a monster compared to what he had..

[Swift_Psycho]

How 'bout you just tell us now?

2-3 offsuit

The answer:The mighty, 4-bettable ..10 8 I wonder what the thoughts in his head were on each round of betting ..Hmm, he's trying to steal the blinds, let me three-bet it with my excellent drawing hand. Oh, he capped it? He's just trying to show aggression with his Ax.Q 7 3? I bet he has an A7 or A3. I have two overs to his pair, and might be able to raise him off this pot. He three-bets it eh? Well I might as well cap it so when my 8 or 10 hits I can get paid off!Two diamonds? Well, well, I'm in business. Three diamonds .. whoa!! A flush, that's my favorite hand ever! Huge pot .. I'm going to Vegas! Oh wait, there goes my money .. why can't my flush hit everytime ... isn't Ace 7 a great hand .. mumble mumble drool
