A truly beautiful river card

[Pentahouve]

I'd been getting beaten on this table for a while. Unfortunately hand this didn't occur earlier when the ATC merchants were still at the table, rivering me with garbage....but you can't have everything.



PokerStars Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (5 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 6, 6
Hero raises, MP calls, Button calls, 1 fold, BB calls

Flop: (8.5 SB) 6, 6, A (4 players)
BB checks, Hero checks, MP bets, 1 fold, BB calls, Hero calls

It wasn't the first time I'd checked the flop so i hoped it didn't look too suspicious. I was just praying one of them had a good A or i was going to get nothing. I'm not usually one for slow playing but felt I needed to here.

Turn: (5.75 BB) 3 (3 players)
BB checks, Hero checks, MP bets, BB calls, Hero raises, MP calls, BB calls

River: (11.75 BB) A (3 players)
BB bets, Hero raises, MP calls, BB 3-bets, Hero caps, MP calls, BB calls

Total pot: $23.75 (23.75 BB) | Rake: $0.50

Results in below:
BB had 8, A (full house, Aces over sixes).
Hero had 6, 6 (four of a kind, sixes).
MP mucked 10, A (full house, Aces over sixes).
Outcome: Hero won $23.25[/color]


Had to feel some sympathy for the guy raising who must have put the other guy on a 6 (though MP would prob have 3 bet the turn unless he'd been worried by a bad kicker or had put me on AA at that point)
