And Out.

I lasted about 25 minutes after the dinner break. Folded around to me in the small blind, I raised it to 11k (blinds 2k-4k) with A4hh, big blind calls. Flop comes J-9-3 with two hearts. I bet 14k, he calls. Turn bricks, I bet 22k, he calls again. River is an off suit King. Great bluffing card for me, I bet 52k, he calls and shows KQo (no hearts). :( Chased a gutter and two overs on a board with a flush draw and hit, sigh.

Few hands later, I raise, get reraised and shove AK. Jacks snap call. Jack on the flop (turn Ace, river King) and I go home.

Such a great structure. I like how I played those hands, not much I can do I think. The A4s hand is debatable, I can take a lot of different lines there, but I think I like mine. Oh well. Thanks for all the well wishes everyone, def appreciated.

Nice run. Like you said, always nice time. I like your reasoning (line) to those two hands.
