    Button AK/Q/J?

    No idea what the other guy has. Can't be drawing since he called the river? Without any reads, hard to say.. fish could have a pair of nines?

    They're not showing any kind of strength on any street. But your raises seems quite weak to me..

    blech. anything that beats AQ here would've raised somewhere -- except for one plausible situation:

    MP has bottom two pair and is going for overcalls from you and the button, who are either way behind him or way ahead of him.

    I think I'm laying down AQ out of position with a call and a raise behind.

    Having said that once you're in the hand... wow. AK almost has to raise on the flop, 98 are about the last two cards I want to see out along with my A, plus the flush draw. Well, OK, J10 is worse.

    The weak bets give 67 the right odds to call, but you can't think someone re raised or called two raises with 67. And if they did they would raise on the river for sure...

    Gotta go with an A weaker than yours and a PP between A and 9 for the other. What a weird hand.

    I was thoroughly relieved when they both flipped over AJ!

    ok first of all i dont like your preflop minimum raise..not sure what you wanted to accomplish by this...then second of all im giving much respect to the button when it has been raised, called and re-raised already by players in early position and he still re-reraises...i fold that hand right there

    Preflop: Hero raises $1.5, Button raises $4, Hero Folds

    Unless you've got a really good read that he's a maniac you really should be folding This preflop. Its not often that you'll get re-raised and called by hands worse than AQo preflop.

    Sounds like a pretty fishy table.

    I think i figured one of them for KK who couldn't let it go and the other one i wasn't sure, to be honest i was surprised that i won the hand, i didn't play it well preflop but i think post flop was ok as i was waiting and waiting for the reraise to come indicating a better hand than mine that might make me lay mine down, but it never came.

    The guy on the button had 40% VP$IP and a PFR of 18% so he was raising non premium hands, the other guy was tighter but then he only called the raise and still had 35% VP$IP
