$55 donkament

Playing in a tourney right now. running hot but also playing sick good. Made a nice call with king high on a very coordinated board to take a nice pot. Lost with my AK to AQ AIP and he hit a Q. If he bricks, I'm chip leader.

Also won this hand with 65 high!

SKUNKWENCH: raises 500 to 750 - I attempt a button steal with K6o which is very standard figuring I have the best hand anyways.

kobepham: calls 625 - An ok player just calls from the BB and we play a hand.

Nous44: folds

*** FLOP *** [3s 3h 5d] - I missed and he knows I missed.

kobepham: checks

SKUNKWENCH: checks - No point in betting here as I have been opening very liberally. He def. check raises flop here if I bet

*** TURN *** [3s 3h 5d] [Ac]

kobepham: checks - He definitely does not have an ace, 3 or 5 as he would have lead out here

SKUNKWENCH: checks - cant bet here because I most likely would have bet flop with an A

*** RIVER *** [3s 3h 5d Ac] [Qd]

kobepham: bets 1250 - tries the post-oak bluff on me.

SKUNKWENCH: calls 1250 - K high is def good sucka! snap call.

*** SHOW DOWN ***

kobepham: shows [4d 6d] (a pair of Threes)

SKUNKWENCH: shows [Ks 6s] (a pair of Threes - Ace+King kicker)

SKUNKWENCH collected 4475 from pot

Not a big pot but it let the table know I could hand read.
