some happy time earnings in a real short(10-15 minute) session. hopefully variance has made its way to someone else.

i waited almost an entire orbit to post blinds in turn, then some donk leaves and i get skipped, so i post out of order. i stated in the chat i was probably dominated but i called him down just in case.

i normally never call proper raises with smallish pocket pairs. after reading a ton on the forum, i decided to give it a go, sweet deal for me. there was quite a bit of chat after this hand about what i might have had, some villians put me on KJ, the villian in the hand said he was laying down a good hand so i figure KK, AK, or something close to that. he called me lucky for hitting my two pair and said later that he laid down a hand that was beat by two pair. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] i was getting so much respect and it was one of my first hands at the table. wish he would have put me on a weak A or something, i wanted more moolah. was the river bet too small? obviously he didnt call it so i didnt get any extra value from the bet even though it was only a little more than half pot. he took forever to make a decision so he was on the border line wondering what i had.

im wondering if i would have raised the flop or turn would he have put me on a lesser hand than his and call my river bet or push on me? would i have pushed the third person out of the pot and thus lost some of the money i would have otherwise made since we were three handed to my river bet.

checked top pair on the flop because of it being all clubs, bet the turn since nobody wanted to play, one caller, nice little value bet on the river thinking maybe a missed club draw, although he might have had a straight now cause of the 10JQ out there. obviously he didnt...

stacked a shorty here. i almost dreaded the fourth spade but at the same time, knew i wasnt folding 2nd flush to a short stack, for sure. now i know that if he hadnt hit that spade, he wouldnt have called the push. i think he had no clue what i had because he said good game and left. wished he would have had more monies, i was taking it all if he did.
