The seemingly obvious thing is the BB had a queen, bravely put out the pretense of holding an 8, & got caught by possibley a king limp from the button...

how wrong am I ???

The button limped with bet the flop to make it look like a positional steal.

The BB was playing .

As no-one has posted in a while I`ll reveal the hand. I`ll put it in a spoiler though just in case someone else comes along.

Spoiler:

Well I think KN successfully identified one of the players but he`s a little off on the hands (But a decent effort and exactly right that my flop bet was designed to look like a steal). I was the button and was holding 78o. Mura was indeed the BB but he wasn`t holding his signature hand. For a change he made a play with Dolly`s hand the 10-2.

I actually made a quip about the hand he`d chosen afterwards "Who do ya think you are Doyle?" (he showed). His response was that he knew I`d fold if I didn`t have the 8. That`s almost certainly true and even though he lost the hand I think it was a very well thought out play. Some serious 3rd level thinking going on in our favourite Swede`s head in this one.

Spoiler:

Wierd action indeed in the hand. If the BB had a queen it would be shown on the flop i guess with a bet. as BB just check/called flop i would say str8 draw or trip 8's. but as the turn action comes it would only be an missed hand with a missclick raise on turn?  Hard one though. BB could maybe got unlucky with hitting a King on turn...Wierd actoin from BB indeed.

And as of the buttons action KQ or trip 8's would be my guess here.



EDIT: was allready an answer. so nvm
