happy days

I went to Bellagio and played 15-30 for 3 and a half hours. I walked out 1k richer then when I went in. so that was good.

Finally, my big hand held up. i flopped top set of jacks and capped on the river (5 bets ) with a guy.

then, i 3 bet with aces and a woman called 3 bets and the original raiser (O.R.) called. the flop came out A 34 rainbow. i bet, woman called, OR raised, I three bet, woman called, OR raised, i capped, woman called.

turn, k of spades 92 spades on board). woman checks, OR bets I raise, woman calls, OR calls, he's all in. I have 2 outs, woman says. i figure she means she need one of two types of cards... i immediately put her on pocket fives and am rooting for anything besides a 2.

River is the seven of spades... she checks, i bet, she folds. she says she folded pocket fives. OR turns over AK. I win a big pot.

The game was tremendous... and I caught a bad beat to not be up a fair amount more. (you don't want to hear it... suffice to say the guy was drawing very thin and caught his 5 outer on the river. it happens.)

Anyway, most of my good hands held up, and that was really nice. Yay, AA, KK, JJ all win for once!
