Re: Vegas TR - Nov 2-6th @ TI - Part 2 (more content!)
Nice report and kudos on those two monster Sunday morning pots. The funny thing is that, a few weeks ago, I held your exact hands in one NL game, but I did not fare as well as you did.
Like you, I took a flop with a bunch limpers with 3x4x and flopped the low-end of a 5x6x7x straight. Unlike you, someone else held 89 and stacked me when all the money went in on the turn after a blank fell.
A couple of hours later, I took a flop with 22 from the SB after calling a Button-raiser with a deepstack. The K 9 2 flop looked sweet to me. I led out, the Button raised, I pushed, and he called. He showed a set of 99s, and I lost my second big pot of the night.
I think I finally got over those beats just this weekend. Thanks for reminding me of them. Anyway, congratulations on dragging $1,600 worth of pots. It's good to be you!
