This one certainly brought ress joy than the first sprit pot.
Full Tilt Poker, $0.50/$1 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 8 Players
LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter
BTN: $116.75
SB: $35.90
BB: $45.80
Hero (UTG): $114.05
UTG+1: $158.95
MP1: $28.65
MP2: $156.40
CO: $40.45
Pre-Flop: 
dealt to Hero (UTG)
Hero raises to $4, 2 folds, MP2 calls $4, CO raises to $12, 3 folds, Hero calls $8, MP2 folds
(The CO was a little bit of a nut, and MP2 wasn't too aggro, so there's a good chance my hand is good, and I don't have much fear of being re-raised by MP2. Still pretty loose to call a re-raise with 99, but against this guy, I felt like I couldn't fold, and the possibility of MP2 calling meant that I might win a huge pot if I hit a set. I still might have folded if I didn't have the nine of SPADES though. That was really the clincher.)
Flop: ($29.50) 
(2 Players)
Hero checks, CO bets $28.45 and is All-In, Hero calls $28.45
(No reason to bet this flop. Check-call is the best play, I think. He's gonna shove overcards and pocket pairs smaller than mine, whereas he might not call if I shove. Given that I called pre-flop, I can't check-fold this flop. If I was going to do that, I'd have to fold preflop. When I call and see he has 88, I'm pretty happy. Just gotta fade the remaining two eights in the deck!)
Turn: ($86.40) 
(2 Players - 1 is All-In)
(No eight no eight no eight....)
River: ($86.40) 
(2 Players - 1 is All-In)
(Gross!!!)
Results: $86.40 Pot ($3 Rake)
Hero showed (a full house, Fives full of Tens) and WON $41.70 (+$1.25 NET)
CO showed 
(a full house, Fives full of Tens) and WON $41.70 (+$1.25 NET)

I'm not a huge fan of the PF call. While I somewhat understand the logic behind the fact that you were confident that MP would not 4b, the fact of the matter is you were OOP. It is just so much more difficurt to extract varue when you frop a big hand. Hmmm...this actually has me thinking about position affects your implied odds...

You suck so bad:
1) Pretty thin set mining when there is a real chance MP2 folds - which he did leaving $28 to win.
2) check calling is your best line? WTF? He might have the best hand - shove and make him be the one to call although he is never folding JJ+ he might fold AK which could suck out on you.
3) you wrre the UTG raiser - shove or fold dude with these stack sizes.
OK well, I'll defend my line here -
As far as 2), "making him call" has no value. The reasons to bet here would be to make a better hand fold, or to get value out of a worse hand. I can't think of a better hand he would fold to a shove. All the worse hands he's going to shove when I check anyway, so I get the money in against them too. I'm pretty sure he's gonna shove two overcards into me, so I can call that and be happy to get more money into the pot. Sure, he could suck out and win the pot, but the point is not to win the pot, it's to maximize my EV. I'm happy to put in $30 more vs. AK.
3) being OOP doesn't matter as much in this hand postflop because there's really only one bet left to play with.
1) As I said in the post, I'm not just set mining - if I'm left HU with the CO, I think I have a great chance at having the best hand, which I did and managed to get the money in vs. a worse hand.
