He's raising in late position,... he could have pretty much anything. I make a bit of a loose call here, but it's not horrific.

*** FLOP *** [3c 5c 4d]

groundrush: raises $10 to $30
pokerjl: raises $10 to $40

Gin! I flop the straight, and it's pretty much impossible to put him on 67. He probably has an overpair or the clubs. I love that we are capping here.

*** TURN *** [3c 5c 4d] [As]
pokerjl: bets $20
groundrush: raises $20 to $40
pokerjl: raises $20 to $60
groundrush: calls $20

That card didn't hurt me. and he is still raising me! awesome. I guess he could have a set of aces? or maybe a deuce? I guess he could have a2 and flopped the worse stright, that's pretty much the only hand that explains the action...


*** RIVER *** [3c 5c 4d As] [2s]
pokerjl: bets $20
groundrush: calls $20

Cool river! I hope and pray he doesn't have a 6, but I don't see how he possibly could... I bet, hoping he'll raise, thinking we're chopping and trying to push me off the hand.

He just calls... now we get to see what he had... it's really got to be AA or A2, right? maybe a set of 5s?

*** SHOW DOWN ***
pokerjl: shows [6d 2d] (a straight, Deuce to Six)
groundrush: mucks hand
pokerjl collected $282 from pot

Whoops! Just Ace king! Gotta love the guys who cap on the flop with ace high, drawing dead to a perfect-perfect chop.

Oh, here's the best part (well, second best to me winning a nice sized pot against a hand that shouldn't have given me anything like this much money), after the hand, the player wrote (in the chat box): "unreal"

I know a lot of times playing AK that strongly will work... but man, when it doesn't, you can lose a fair amount quickly.

At least he didn't cap on the turn or raise the river. that would have truly been 'unreal.'
