Hand Analysis Please

Hi All,

I recently played a home game with a group of guys I have been playing with for years. One particulary hane stood out and I am keen for the opinions of you all how I played it. I should explain that it is a three way hand and other than myself the other two were father and son where the son has a history of reading his father and calling with weak hands because he thinks he can read his fathers bluffs. The game is £40 min and max buy in cash game with 25/50p blinds cash game. The starting stacks are me £50 Father £26 Son £40. Plus we are all drinking!

I amon the button and have A (S) A (C) Father is to my left and raises 3 x BB. Son Calls and I 3 bet to 9 x BB. Father calls and Son calls. Flop is K J 2 all spades. Father goes all in and Son calls. I call. Turn is a dud. Son Checks, I Check. River is a King. Son goes All In, I fold.

Answers on postcard please. I will reveal the hands when there is a few analysis on the forum.

Thanks

     Thanks for the comment. There is no doubt that has I been on line in DYM which is where I play my poker, I would have done that, but knowing the guys as I do I knew they would call and I was expecting to check/shove the flop.

    The son has left himself with £14 once he called the fathers shove so you may aswell just shove and put him in on the flop.
    Takes away any river decision.
    You have to call £14 to win £92 on the river so you dont have to be ahead very often which you are prob not but once you flat the flop I think you have to sigh call.

    ^put much better than I did. As far as the hands at showdown I guess it was flush and full house and merry ments all round,with the omg live pokers rigged from Jimmy next door ;)

     Hi Tom,

    Yes you are correct Father had KJ and therefore rivered Full House and Son had Q2 Spades and flopped flush.

    Consensus seems to be I should have shoved on the flop. Looking back I probably agree, but luckily my incompetence saved me some money. I think I was thrown by the son calling. When the Father shoved I instantly decided to call. I was not prepared for the Son to call.

    Still thanks for your thoughts. When I said Check/Shove the flop I meant just shove. I hope that makes sense unlike previously.

    Cheers Guys

    should reshove flop, you cant fold the river bet QJ let alone AA.

    I would expect the father to have a king of some sort and the son to have JX a lot.
