I stole this hand from 2+2. Seems to me Hero played it well. Am I missing something here?

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.
Sushiman
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?
Kendren
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.
DCWildcat
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?
